During the visit, she was presented with a framed Beano comic strip featuring herself and shown artefacts from the library's collection by curator Ralph McLean, including a ceremonial key used to open the building in 1956.
While leaving, Queen Camilla greeted people gathered outside the building before entering a vehicle of her motorcade and departing.
