It's International Women's Day, so a good day to r

It's International Women's Day, so a good day to reflect on the role women have played in the history of The Morrab Library.

Since it's establishment in 1818, many women have served as library officers - trustees, chairs, presidents and patrons. And The Morrab was ahead of its time in allowing women to become independent members of the library, separate from their spouses, within a few years of its opening. And did you know that since 1899, the librarian role has been held by a woman - a very rare occurrence in the library world! And we can't forget the many hundreds of women who have volunteered over the years too.

So here's to all of them, and the part they have played in helping to make the library the special place that it is.
