When: On Wednesday mornings 10:30 am
3rd Wednesday of the month.
Venue: Widnes Library

We are a small but enthusiastic group, accommodating a wide range of literary tastes. We leave the library each month with a book to take away to read and discuss the next time we meet. Most of our books are kindly provided free of charge by Widnes Library. We have plenty of lively discussion and much in the way of laughter along the way. Visitors and new members are always welcome. A love of reading is all that is needed.

We meet in an open area on the ground floor of Widnes Library. There are car parking places and bus stops nearby and there are toilet facilities in the building which are accessible. If you decide to come along but don't recognise anybody the library staff on duty on the desk will point you in our direction.
