The Scottish Government deemed that libraries could open in the middle of July but North Lanarkshire based bookworms have faced a longer wait.

And readers in Kilsyth and Condorrat will not be able to visit their own branches as yet - because the only other local authority library to re-open at this stage is is in Coatbridge.

It has been confirmed that the two libraries will operate from 10am to 4pm on weekdays, under a sizeable set of restrictions.
