Reading Groups are a great way of meeting people and
sharing your views about books.
Recently there has been a real surge in their number nationally.
They generate exciting debates and may lead you to consider books
that you would never have imagined reading.
Join an existing group in your area
 There are many reading groups in Kent for you
to join and most welcome new readers.
Ask our team or check out the reading group pages being developed
on our discussion forum. There are groups for
adults,
teens and
children (these links open in new
windows).
You can find many more virtual readers groups, book clubs, book
blogs and discussion forums on the Internet, depending on your area
of interest or favoured authors.
How about starting a reading group?
In Kent we offer a reading group card. This allows the group
leader to reserve a set of books and pick them up from their
closest library.
Some libraries can act as venues, while other groups prefer to
operate from members' houses. There is no right or wrong, just
choose what suits you best.
Setting your reading group will get you started, but for
further advice and ideas have a chat with a member of staff at your
local library or look at some of the following websites (the
following links open in new windows):
