How (not) to use a [feminist] library
Join us in celebrating the end of our National Lottery Heritage Fund programme Preserving and Promoting Herstories!
For the past year, we have focused on cataloguing and conserving the collections the Library has amassed over 46 years; we have curated events involving the local community; and we have acquired new feminist material – books but also zines!
On Sunday December 4th, we will talk about the history of the Feminist Library and how it has been changing for the past few years, led by a member of the Library’s collective. The tour will be followed by a zine-making workshop, facilitated by George Kalivis.
All zine materials will be provided at the time. There will also be refreshments and light snacks (vegan options available).
The Feminist Library is wheelchair accessible, with accessible, gender-neutral toilets. Please contact us with any additional access needs and we will do our best to accommodate them.
This event has been made possible thanks to funding by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
