Paisley Central Reference Library is a European Public Information Centre (EPIC). Renfrewshire is one of a number of UK library authorities that work together, with the support of the European Commission Representation in the UK, to provide a better European information service to their library users. EPICs aim to provide information on a wide range of issues, including:

• travelling in Europe
• living, learning and working anywhere in the European Union
• consumer policy
• EU history and its institutions
• environment
• transport and communications
• Euro, economic and other financial issues

You can also access information on European issues on the internet. All our libraries offer free access to the internet. Some useful websites for European information include -

Reference Library staff are happy to assist you with your European Union enquiries and can help you find the information you need.
