Glasgow Women’s Library

Glasgow Women’s Library collects, preserves and makes accessible materials that document the diversity of women’s lives and contributions to society.

We house a lending library (fiction, poetry and non-fiction by or about women), an archive, and a museum collection, and host and facilitate learning activities all year round which connect people to these materials, champion women’s contributions, and brings (predominantly) women together to learn, try new things, and engage with their history.

This includes adult literacy sessions, exhibitions, creative writing workshops, film screening, open archive sessions, talks, guided women’s heritage walks, creative workshops, and volunteering.
