In 2016 we launch Herland: a new irregular evening which distils the essence of GWL; learning and pleasures, the historic and the cutting edge.
Unfortunately, due to heating problems, the Library will be closed on the afternoon of Tuesday 2nd February and all day Wednesday, 3rd February. We apologise for the inconvenience, and hope to be open as usual on Thursday - please watch this space for updates.
A series of workshops focusing on the historical and cultural richness of Palestinian embroidery. Participants will learn traditional Palestinian embroidery techniques.
This lively and welcoming women’s history group, supported by Glasgow Women’s Li-brary, celebrate the histories of local women, from artists and suffragettes to their own mothers and grandmothers.
Think lunchtime is just about what’s on your sandwich? Think again! Pull up at chair at our weekly Story Café, sit back with your cuppa and travel the world, one tale at a time. We’ve read about barefoot, pioneering climbers in Snowdonia, globe-trotting, fearless matriarchs from India, and fabled heroines on dangerous quests in Afghanistan.
Check out some of the useful, quaint and downright outrageous advice contained in the archives of Glasgow Women’s Library and the National Library of Scotland Moving Image Archive. Choose your favourites as we create our own exhibition of some of the top tips and short films.
Bring along a bite of lunch and relax while you listen to specially selected stories and powerful poetry handpicked from the rich GWL collection of women writers being read out loud and bring your own thoughts to the supportive discussion.

This event is for women from all over Scotland to stake their claim in GWL now and into the future. Wherever you are based outside Glasgow and whether you have participated in previous library events or not, this is a chance for you to join us at our newly refurbished building and archive in Bridgeton and let us know what you want us to deliver for you and your network. This uplifting gathering will include a keynote speech from the writer Zoe Strachan, a screening of our inspiring film March produced in partnership with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, discussion, workshops and poetry slam performances.
