Women's History Detectives
Ever fancied yourself as a bit of a detective? Want to don a deerstalker* and get down to following clues and uncovering hidden histories of women in Scotland. Our Women Make History group welcomes you to get involved in our women's history detective club. We meet twice a month, once on a Wednesday afternoon and once on a Thursday evening.
Next meetings: Thursday 10 April 2008, 4pm to 8pm & Wednesday 23 April 2008, 1pm to 5pm

Openings at Glasgow Women's Library
If you have not studied for a while, why not start with an Openings course to build your study skills. They are also an interesting way to find out which subject is the right one for you. Studying an Openings course will give you the chance to try out supported study with the Open University. You can work on your study skills (such as essay-writing, planning your time and taking notes), build up your confidence, get a taste of your chosen subject and decide what you want to study in the future.
More information about Openings at Glasgow Women's Library.
Coming Soon
The Lifelong Learning team are introducing a range of "Have a Go" courses: one-off taster workshops in a range of areas from music to comedy and more. We are always keen to hear about what you would like from us, so why not contact us to say what you would like to "have a go" at.
Don't forget the GWL has many other things to offer including support with reading, writing and numbers, chronicling women's Migration Histories and much more.
All events are free. To book a place or for more information about these events and courses, please contact the Library.
