Woodside Library, which opened in 1883, is Aberdeen’s oldest Library and celebrations were in order for it’s 140th birthday.
Save the Libraries Campaigners threw a birthday bash for the Woodside Library and a crowd gathered outside the building to celebrate its history.
As the Library has been closed since March, the party had to take place outside, in the building grounds, but thankfully the weather was kind.
There was music provided by the Gurana Street Band, children’s games and a conga line. Some of the campaigners also took the opportunity the address the crowd and encourage attendees to take part in the consultation survey.
The library, alongside five other Aberdeen Libraries closed its doors in March after Aberdeen City Council Budget cuts and campaigners and residents have been fighting fiercely since to save them.
A consultation regarding the closure of the libraries and Bucksburn Swimming Pool was launched by the council in August which closed on the 6th of November. Campaigners urged everyone to complete the survey and have their say.
A report on the outcomes of the consultation will be presented to the Parliament in December.
