Meetings usually last an hour, with the emphasis being on having fun and getting to read things that you might not normally read. Most of the titles chosen are contemporary fiction, often fairly new but also tried and tested at reading groups elsewhere, so there should be much food for thought and plenty to talk about at meetings.
Meetings are run by group members themselves, with support from a member of the library staff. Books are provided and there is no charge.
Or you may be interested in joining one of short story reading groups, which are led by an experienced reading group leader.
Our reading groups are held on the following days:
