Reading Group for Muslim Women

22nd October, 2012, 10:00am to 11:30am

Free

Glasgow Women’s Library is supporting a new reading group for women interested in books and literature written by women with an Islamic perspective.

The group will take place on the following dates:

Monday 10th September, 10am to 11.30am

Thursday 13th September, 6pm to 7.30pm

Monday 22nd October, 10am to 11.30am

Thursday 25th October, 6pm to 7.30pm

Books from the GWL collection

The book group came about as a result of Muslim women in Glasgow expressing an interest and need to come together for learning and sharing through the reading of books. The book group aims to promote education, self-esteem and wellbeing for women in a fun, relaxed and secure environment.

So if you have a passion for books, or find it a challenge to get into the habit of reading, or you just want to make friends then this group is for you. Come along and share your thoughts about books you have read or are currently reading and learn something new! The reading group is also keen to screen films of interest and invite special guest/s (Muslim women writers, poets) to talk about their work.

Light Refreshments will be provided.
