The new library opened on Monday 17 November 2008.

Meadowbank is a totally new library, the first library to be built in this area of Falkirk.  Designed by Falkirk Council architects and built at a cost of £1.1 million, it is filled with completely new stock including, books, dvds, music cds and magazines.

The attractive 551 m sq. library building combines wood panelling and wooden flooring with a high ceiling, metallic panelled walls and full length windows.

There is an attractive children's library; teenagers area and an adult area.

There is also a specially designed soft seating area where people can enjoy a coffee, tea or a hot chocolate and keep up with the latest news from newspapers or television.

There is free Internet access throughout the library, with a dedicated computer suite where we will be able to hold classes in basic PC and Internet skills. The library also offers free Wi-Fi access for people to use their own laptops.

The new library building opened Monday 21 April 2008.

The distinctive building, overlooking Crownest Park, is spacious, bright and comfortable. There is full disabled access, a community room upstairs, coffee corner, computer area with Wi-Fi access, a delightful children's corner, lots of comfortable seating and a listening station where teenagers can try the latest music CDs before choosing which to borrow.

The old library, which was closed for a week to allow for the major job of moving thousands of books, CDs, DVDs and other items, is being demolished this week as part of the regeneration of the area.

The new Larbert Library, with its wave-shaped roof, is the flagship building for the £15 million Stenhousemuir town centre regeneration project.
