Book and reading groups

Reading, writing and poetry groups

If you love books and wish to share your experiences with other people why not come along to one of our many reading groups that are held in our libraries throughout the Rochdale borough.They are informal gatherings, which meet on a regular basis to talk about books of all genres and discuss their enthusiasm for reading. 

Each group is different; some may take a light hearted approach to reading while others are more highbrow and formal. There's something for everyone!  

Love reading....love books

If you loved your last book but are wondering what you are going to read next, let your local library help you decide. Whether you are looking for the latest bestseller, the book of the film or an enthralling classic we have thousands of titles to keep you inspired and entertained. Just ask one of our staff and let them know what you like or what you're looking for. They'll be pleased to help find you something suitable and will even suggest books and authors that you've never heard of if you want to try something new for a change.

We have hardbacks, paperbacks, books in large print, talking books on tape or CD and e-books that you can read on your computer.

You don't have to have "bad eyesight" to finding reading a chore: there are times when you want to read a book but your eyes really don't want to make much of an effort (especially if you have spent all day staring at a computer screen).
