Our Library based Readers Group gets together bi-monthly for book talk. You don't have to do any homework or write a learned review; just come along for an informal chat about why you loved (or hated) your latest read. There's no pressure to contribute, but everyone has the chance to do so. The group usually discuss books on a theme or by a chosen author.

If you think this might be for you, then contact us and we'll put you in touch with the group.

Indulge in a digital detox, switch off from the outside world and lose yourself in an hour of uninterrupted reading at The Core. No, it’s not a reading club, it’s a chance to unwind and read any book you like, in a cosy, informal environment without distractions. So, step away from that phone, grab a slice of cake and a coffee, and treat yourself to an hour of silent reading!

The Café begins with an hour of silent reading between 6pm and 7pm, with a chance to chat (if you want) between 7pm and 7.45pm. There's no obligation to talk about your book, although the conversation often turns to what everyone is reading!

So, bring a book (or e-reader), purchase some goodies from Encore Café, sit back, relax, and enjoy a slice of blissful silence.
