Safer Wales are excited to share our Feminist Library with you!
This is a collection of all types of reads; books, comic books, zines etc. which range from fiction to poetry to historical novels. The library will also include audio and video content, all of which promote feminism and feminist creatives.
Our titles cover a wide age range suitable for young and old, of which a full list can be found on this page.
Everything in our collection can be borrowed free of charge and we cover the postage for both the borrowing and the return of the items. All we ask is that you register with us before you borrow! We want to make the library accessible for all so anybody living in Wales can register by filling out a simple form.
If you are under 16 then we will need your parents or carers consent to use the library, or you can ask a youth worker to get in touch with us and loan a few at the same time.
The feminist library will be launched on the 8th March, International Women's Day 2021, and celebrating Women’s History Month this March. We think that’s something important to celebrate!
We want to hear from you! We are continually adding to our library all the time so if there is anything you wish to read, listen or watch (or you think needs to be in our collection) please do get in touch.
We would also love it if you could share your borrows with us and others using #femlibsaferwales
For suggestions, to register and start borrowing (or if you have any questions) please contact:

How do I return the items?
When you have finished send us an email. We will then email you a pre-paid Hermes parcel label - print it off, wrap the item and stick the label on (let us know if you do not have printer and we will send a label in the post!). Once it is wrapped (save the envelope we sent it in!) and ready to go you can drop the parcel off at a local Hermes "Drop Shop" or Hermes Locker. You can find your nearest drop shop using the postcode finder on the Hermes website. They are usually local newsagents/convenience stores. If you need help with this feel free to email us and we can help you locate your nearest drop off shop or arrange a different safe place for drop off.
We are so excited about the launch of our feminist library and we hope you are too!
