We spoke to one of the gardeners Claire McWilliams who told us the story of the Little Libraries which are situated in the park.
Claire told us : "I am one of the many volunteers who garden in Starbank Park. As an extra bit I look after the little library that we have in the park. We have two beautiful libraries made by other volunteers . One is for children's books - we would always love more children's books as they are very very popular.
"They are called little libraries - don't think of the traditional library fines and book cards! There is none of that. Please come and help yourself to a book. Please also put the book back or bring another book. Some people sit on the lovely benches here and read to their children. That makes my heart so glad!
"I can't claim any credit for this - the libraries just appeared, but because I have a background in books I edged forward and tidied them because it is my thing! Our adult one is shaped like a tardis."
Starbank Park is open to the public 24/7 and the libraries are too. When it first opened in 1891 there were gates locked at night but that practice has since stopped, so now you can go and enjoy the books and the gardens any time.

We sat down with the Finance Convener Cllr Alasdair Rankin to discuss the process that the council is in the middle of to set its revenue budget for the period to the end of the administration in 2022.
The councillors ask for proposals from council officers, but no decisions have been made, nor can they be made until the amount of funding from the Scottish Government becomes clear on 13 December.
