Reading groups

Reading groups are a fun, sociable way of meeting like-minded people and trying a range of books you might never have thought of.

Most reading groups have around 6-10 members, usually the choice of books is rotated around the group. Peterborough Libraries can supply the books where we have multiple copies. Regularly updated lists are supplied, reading groups can have their own membership tickets with longer loan periods. For more information about reading groups, or for help starting your own, please contact us.
