Reading Groups

Reading Groups offer a welcoming, relaxing and friendly atmosphere to discuss books. You can check our library pages to see the range of reading groups available.

At the end of this page you can find a downloadable Reading Pack for anyone interested in setting up a reading group, as well as a list of the Reading Group book sets we have.

Writing Groups

Local writing groups can be found on the Community Information Directory. Just type 'writing groups' in the search box.

There are lots of useful and supportive websites for writers such as BBC Writers room, Write Words, and Great Writing. You can also view our booklist for writers on our online catalogue, from which you can reserve and collect from any library.

Job Clubs

You can download a list below of libraries which offer regular job clubs. You can use our public access computers to write a C.V, search for jobs, and send off applications. A member of staff from the Job centre will also be on hand to help. You need to be a member of the library to use our public access computers, and it's free to join the library!
