Visit Us at the Library
Throughout March, stop by the Library to explore our Women’s History Month display, featuring not only some of our book collection but also historical archives, photographs, and stories about the inspiring women who’ve made their mark on our university’s history. It's a celebration of the past, present, and future of women’s contributions to academia, culture, and beyond.
As we celebrate Women’s History Month, let’s take the time to reflect on the progress that’s been made and the work still to be done. Whether you’re discovering a new author or learning about the legacies of women who came before us, this month offers a unique opportunity to honour their voices and amplify their stories.
We invite everyone to take part in this celebration by exploring our collection, reflecting on the impact of these women, and sharing their stories with others. Let’s continue to uplift and support the voices of women all year long!
