Adult reading groups 

People of all ages and from all walks of life are getting together up and down the country to discuss, debate, and exchange views about books, from the latest best sellers and contemporary fiction to classic titles, poetry and plays. It’s a great way of meeting new friends who share a like-minded passion for books and there are regular structured groups taking place at many of our city libraries (see below).

Or why not set up your own reading group with existing friends?  Find out more about the support we offer for setting up your own group.
