We’re excited to be launching our Autumn Programme of exhibitions and events! We have exhibition in the Library building and in Paisley and Johnstone. We will also have a few events that take place at the library while most of our events will continue to take place online. There are lots of amazing events this Autumn including Story Cafés, creative writing workshops, art and heritage exhibitions and even a GWL dungeons and dragons game! Watch the trailer below to find out more about our programme this Autumn.
We know that it’s helpful to know what to expect when booking on to online events so we’ve written a blog which you can find here, telling you a bit more about the booking process and how we create a friendly space online.
All our events are listed on our website under upcoming events and you can book online or email info@womenslibrary.org.uk for more information. Below you’ll find all our events listed in date order with a web link to where you can find out more and book a free place. Enjoy exploring what’s on!
