Come along and join one of our reading groups - we have reading groups for adults and children.

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.
