Women Writers Unite to examine the physical, emotional and spiritual journey which forms a pivotal part of most women’s lives.

Come to our Transition Cafe at the new space in the Mitchell, where we’ll be sharing our ideas for the future, and asking you what you’d like to see, hear and feel in the new Women’s Library.

The Robertson Trust has awarded us £75,000 towards building costs to construct our education / lifelong learning floor in our new Mitchell Library space.

If I had a pound for every time someone asks me the question, ‘When are you moving to the Mitchell Library?’ we would have already raised the one million pounds needed for the refurbishment work. Of course it is a fair, as well as frequently asked, question; after all it has been over 3 years since we first announced that the Mitchell Library will be our wonderful future home.

GWL is pleased to announce that the Library has been awarded a major grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The £410,000 grant will fund the creation of the first ever Women’s Archive in Scotland.
