Hello it’s Mattie here, I’m one of the GWL Admin Workers and a Seeing Things Volunteer and I’m taking over the GWL twitter this afternoon to share what GWL staff and volunteers have been reading while in lockdown…

On the first Wednesday of every month varying GWL team members get together, to eat lunch around our favourite round table and share what we’ve read recently, at our Book Picnic…

Our Book Picnics have been transported around the world. Read more about one that took place in Karura Forest, Nairobi, last year: https://womenslibrary.org.uk/2019/11/22/book-bunk-picnic/ …

Though never before have we held a Book Picnic with each of us in separate rooms in separate buildings. While we miss our round table and beautiful library, it feels good to find new ways to persist with sharing at a time when it feels that little bit harder to do so…

Throughout this afternoon I’ll be posting our recommendations here on this thread, do let us know what you think of them and of course we’d love to hear what you’ve been reading too! Here we go:
