somebody about it? Would you like to discuss books in an informal
and relaxed atmosphere?

Reading groups for adults
If you like reading and sharing your thoughts about books, then
a reading group is for you.
They give you an opportunity to discuss what excited, moved or
annoyed you about a book, in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
- The group picks a book to read or an author, to discuss at the
next meeting.
- You may find yourself reading books you wouldn't normally touch
or recommending books that had an impact on you as a child or later
in life.
- Whatever book is chosen there is always a lively discussion
afterwards.
- Our reading groups are open to all adult library members.
Book Break
A reading group with a difference:
- listen and relax while we read
- meet others over a cup of tea and biscuits
- chat about what we read together
- all welcome
Please visit our Book Break page for more
information.
