We went on a guided tour of the library which included a behind the scenes treat. This is a regular event. The Mitchell is an incredible library which houses many original manuscripts and letters as well as an immense collection of historical and contemporary books. There is a genealogy section, music pods for practising complete with pianos, computers available for use, quiet study areas, maps, newspaper archives, and so much more. We were amazed to be told that we could become members even though we didn't live in the Glasgow area. So we did just that and are looking forward to going back very soon.
