Almost 80 staff have been taken on and another recruitment drive is under way after venues were forced to shut last year.
Action will be taken to address staffing issues in city libraries after there were 66 full or part day closures last year.
During a discussion at a city administration committee on a “refreshed” vision for Glasgow’s libraries on Thursday, Bailie Christie said the five-year strategy focused on five key themes: culture, health and well-being, social, economy and environment. “During the last year, there have been three recruitment drives. During those recruitment drives, 78 new employees have come on board. There’s also a recruitment drive on at the moment because we are not fully at the capacity we would like to be.”
“Everything is done to ensure libraries can stay open to their full capacity. Any library that has had to close tends to be on a Saturday which is difficult for them to get library cover. Bailie Patricia Ferguson, Labour, supported Cllr Molyneux’s call for work to be done on making the library service more reliant.
