Overview This beautiful Category B-Listed Carnegie Library has been home to the world-famous Glasgow Women’s Library since 2013. There is a library, archive, and a programme of year-round events dedicated to women’s lives, histories and achievements. GWL is visited by people from all over the world and from just around the corner. It is a Recognised Collection of National Significance; a status only awarded to those museums that collections deemed essential to the telling of a national story.
