Book Clubs
Answer
Book Groups are wonderful on many levels, as well as intellectual benefits – it’s a way of gaining new insights, getting engaged and passionate and listening to other views. There are also social benefits, find your feet in a new area, or help stay in touch with friends or former colleagues.
For a lot of people, booke groups are a special space where you step out of your life and talk about something different.
LOVE TO START YOUR OWN GROUP?
The Reading Agency suggests between eight and ten members – large enough to allow for ‘no shows’ and small enough to ensure everyone can have their say. Choose a book by taking turns, lucky dip or by voting. Monthly meetings give everyone time to read a book.
If you are interested in starting a Group, the Library can help by:
-
a possible meeting place
-
supplying your chosen place
-
promoting your group
Two groups currently meet monthly in the Library on: 2nd Weds (mornings) and 1st Thursday (evenings).
