Talk Time
Talk
Time groups aim to bring people together, stimulate, reduce
isolation and facilitate socialisation.
Most libraries host a weekly Talk Time group offering a
variety of activities - using our services, speakers, quizzes,
recreational activities or just tea and chat.
Though attendees tend to be older people all are
welcome; there are also some ‘young mums’ and more specialist
groups (for example the Nepalese Elders Meeting Point in
Cheriton Library).
Feedback from attendees
- "A very good Idea - we met and chatted with people we had not
met before. The staff were most helpful – nice cup of tea and a
biscuit!"
- "I think Talk Time is an excellent idea to meet have a chat and
then select books after in the library. The staff were very
helpful".
- "We look forward from one Thursday to the next- highlight of
the week"
- "Met someone at Talk Time whom I had been with at RAF Hendon in
1956".
