Libraries as Safe Spaces for Women
Location: Burney Garden Libraries function as crucial third spaces, offering women a refuge beyond home and work where they can build communities. Through initiatives like digital curation, climate storytelling, and literature-driven activism, these spaces create a sense of belonging.
