Do you love non-fiction books? Like the idea of a book group but not being set a particular book every month? Want to meet more people in your community?
Join us for Non-Fiction Friday to discuss books within the theme of the month, and to share your own stories over a cup of tea or coffee.
Every month the group collectively decide on a theme, and we will have a display featuring some suggested reads under that theme. Our Library Assistants can assist with ordering Large Print Books, Talking Books and books of your choice. Free tea and coffee will be available. The meet will last approximately an hour.
Complete our Reading Friends application form to register your interest to join the group, or speak to a member of our friendly team at the library help desk.
