- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Inner Child is the discussion group for grown-ups who refuse to grow up! We will indulge in the fantastical and mysterious magic of children’s books, exploring what makes them so powerful and memorable. Each month we will look at the works of an author, an illustrator or a genre of children’s literature, from picture books to children’s fantasy. 

As we reflect on the books that mattered to us most, we will discover how they read differently now, and how we have experienced them with the children in our lives. Bring your memories, and bring your imagination! No registration required.
