Bath & North East Somerset Council - Adult Reading Groups

Adult Reading Groups

If you’re interested in reading, discussing your ideas and listening to others then why not join a reading group? 

A different book is chosen by the group each month, and discussed at the next meeting.  It’s a great way to meet new people and exchange interesting ideas about the authors and their work. 

 

Library Reading Groups

We run two reading groups at Bath Library.  We have a waiting list, so contact us with your details.

For adults interested in reading and discussing Children's books, old or new.  The group, Children's Classics for Grown-Ups, meets on the first Wednesday of each month.  Places are limited to ten adults, so if you are interested in joining the group then leave your details at the Main Counter at Bath Library.

Don't forget we can help you set up your own group.

Let us help you run your own Reading Group

You can join your own reading group of up to 10 people.  You can register  your own reading group with the library and receive many benefits. Fill in a special registration form at  the library.  You can reserve up to 10 copies for a charge of £5.00 and can borrow items for 8 weeks.

In return, the library service will keep you informed of Library reader events.  If you wish, we can refer new members to you.  We can provide support and advice in starting and running a Reading Group, and will provide space in Bath Library meeting rooms, or you can hire one of our branch libraries.  See charges for details.

We suggest that you reserve books at least 6 weeks in advance to ensure you get a full set, and you can give us details of when you want them to enable you to plan ahead.
