Reading groups

Tell Your Story event at Middleton LibraryIf you love books and wish to share your experiences with other people why not come along to one of our many reading groups held in our libraries. 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!  

We also have writing groups and poetry groups if you want to branch out and participate in something a little more diverse.
