Looking for a book club or a reading group? Find out about shared reading!
Our Groups
We currently offer nine different groups, providing the opportunity to enjoy shared reading in the comfort of your own home, or in the company of others at your local library.
Each group meets every week, and is free and open to all. You are very welcome to just drop in, there is no need to book. You can just listen to stories and poems being read aloud, or join in the chat, whichever you feel like - there is no pressure!
