Reading Groups
Are you a novel lover? Do you think you would enjoy a lively chat about books? If you would like to join a group or if you are already in one we can help with resources and advice.
Reading Groups can meet anywhere - in your local library, in someone's home, at work or in a pub! They usually meet once a month (more often and some people are going to find it difficult to read the book in time, less frequently and some are going to forget what the book was about!)
Reading Groups usually work best if there are between 6 and 10 people - enough people to have a good discussion but not too many to be intimidating.
We can offer support to Reading Groups in several ways:
- We have a collection of books, The Reading Group Collection, that can to be used by any Reading Group in Monmouthshire. The Reading Group collection is made up of very different books - but all of them are guaranteed to get you talking!
- Some of our libraries have meeting rooms which can be used by Reading Groups - please contact your local library for details
- We can give advice about setting up a new Reading Group
- We are happy to give talks about the library service to any community group
