Feel Better with a Book

Join our ‘Reading Friends’ Shared Reading group and enjoy a good story or discover poetry without the need to read ahead.

The group has a Leader who brings a short story or book extract, plus a poem or two, which everyone takes turn to read aloud if they wish to – although just listening is fine too.

The value of this session lies in the memories, comments and discussion that are stimulated and it’s a good way to meet new people.

Reading can boost our wellbeing – so feel better with a book!
All are welcome and there's no charge.

"I love that the library supports shared reading - a group that meets to read and discuss short stories, poems etc. It's not a book club. What we read, we read together taking turns, sharing thoughts, experiences and memories the words we read provoke. It's sociable and kind."

For more information, and to find out how to join the group, please call the library on 01249 706625 or email am9hbm5haCAhIHNtaXRoIHwgd2lsdHNoaXJlICEgZ292ICEgdWs=
