Book Groups

The idea behind Book Groups or Reading Groups is to encourage adults (anyone 16 years to 110 years) to read more.

To discover new authors

To give the opportunity to read something different, maybe something we would not normally pick off the shelves.

It’s a chance to improve reading skills and knowledge

The idea is to get together with other book lovers to chat about books over a coffee

What Library Book Groups Discuss?

Usually the same title, but we may decide to choose a particular theme, or author, or genre

We read mainly fiction, but can include non-fiction or poetry

We discuss the cover of the book, the characters, the description of place, if it is a good read and would we recommend it or not?

Books Groups are fun and offer sociable discussion.
