21 Resolutions

It’s New Year and this time around I’m making 21 resolutions. Join me if you can to feel great and make a big difference to your women’s library.

These are my aims for 2013 – send us yours!

  1. Read more books by women from Glasgow Women’s Library
  2. Remain a Friend of GWL
  3. Take time to listen and enjoy the 21 revolutions podcasts as they drop into my iTunes account
  4. Add my suggestions to the Women Reading for Wellbeing booklists being complied by GWL Librarian Wendy Kirk
  5. Refresh my reading habits by booking into a one to one surgery with our reader in residence Magi Gibson
  6. Donate my loved but never to be read/worn/used again books, badges, prints and postcards to add to the GWL archive
  7. Post more comments on the GWL website
  8. Enjoy the @gwlkettle on Twitter
