The library’s £700,000 upgrade includes a new lift, accessible toilets, hospitality facilities and new decorations.
In addition, the council-funded work incorporates new meeting rooms, furniture, flooring, windows and painted railings.
Sinclair Aitken, chairman of libraries body Leisure and Culture Dundee, said:
The refurbishment at Coldside Library will greatly improve access in the building for everyone in the community and now gives us the potential to run more events.
