The purpose of the reading group is to give people confidence to develop their own reading and to empower them to choose what they want across a wider range.
Common assumptions, which may deter people from joining a reading group, are: -
- They are going to make me study books when all I want to do is read them
- It will be like being back at school
- You will be expected to publicly analyse a book
- You can't sit quietly at the back and listen to others
- You have to read the Times Literary Supplement
- You have to have read everything by Charles Dickens
Once you join a library based reading group you will see that our groups are fun and not like this at all! They meet once a month + discussions are lively + enjoyable.
