Reading Groups

 

Do you love books?

Ever wanted to share your reading experiences with someone else?
Do you always read the same books? Maybe you’d like to try something new?
Do you like meeting people with the same interests as you?

If you answer YES to these questions, then
joining a reading group might just be the answer.

Set in one of our thirteen libraries, you can come together with others who enjoy books to discover reading in a new way in a relaxed, informal setting.

Reading groups provide inspiration and enjoyment. They also offer the chance for you to learn new information, gain deeper understanding and explore your attitudes and values ….

Try reading in a new way...

  • it’s fun
  • it’s a great way to make new friends
  • it’s free
  • and it’s waiting for you at one of Warrington’s libraries now.
