I've just come across our volunteer Becky's latest blog for @womenslibrary . As usual with her blogs I've ended up fascinated by something I thought I had no interest in (in this case, cricket).

Once a month a few @womenslibrary volunteers and staff gather over lunch to chat about what they've been reading. Our volunteer Aileen then pulls together some recommendations. You can find November's here: https://t.co/HTAMLx5GuN

Here is a little summary of what the @womenslibrary team has been reading recently: memoirs, non-fiction, poetry, historical fiction, nature writing, and an artist's exhibition book. Find out more:

@lindsayw1975 @womenslibrary Thank you so much. How's best to get in touch? (can't seem to be able to DM you) If you email [email protected] it will get passed to me. Thanks you.

Looking for advice please 🙏 Has anyone hosted students from the EU on placement since Brexit? @womenslibrary has a long history of providing student placements (supported by their academic institution) and want to continue to do so, but wondering what's involved post-Brexit?

[Gabrielle Macbeth @GabyMacbeth]

Who's still to read Fingersmith by Sarah Waters?

This historical crime novel set in Victorian-era Britain with a lesbian romance is such a classic!
Here is a review by our volunteer Helen which I hope whets your appetite: https://t.co/KrlTY1szzd

[Royal Society of Edinburgh @RoyalSocEd]

Join us at @womenslibrary next Thursday for an exciting discussion on women's countercultural creativity.

Engage with the library's rich collections with @beccamale & @DrAdelePatrick to explore women's pioneering and often unrecognised work in the arts.

Here's a cracking selection of recommendations from @womenslibrary volunteers and staff this month: fiction from Japan, travel writing, and non-fiction on topics including witches and the "autism industrial complex".

Volunteering can exclude people with support needs, with many roles requiring mobility, autonomy and public speaking.

Join our next free event on 25 January to hear from @rzss about how they enable everyone to participate in natural heritage volunteering: https://t.co/J17RNd06hn
