Book Club

-

Our Book Club meets every few weeks to discuss a diverse range of books by women writers.

Join our book club

If you would like to join or find out more about the book club, please contact the Library.

Our books are usually borrowed from Glasgow City Council Library Service and distributed at each meeting to members, with spare copies left for collection in the Library. After reading, books can either be left at the Library, or returned to any Glasgow City Council public library.

Below is the list of books we'll be reading in 2008. Please note that where asterisked, members are asked to source the book themselves, and copies of other books may be limited. www.abebooks.co.uk is a good site to check and supports independent booksellers.
