Reading Groups
Have you ever read a book that made you laugh?,,, made you cry?...made you angry?...
Reading Groups are places where people meet to talk about the books they have read, and share their reading experiences. It’s a way of trying new authors, and finding out how other people are affected by the books they read. They can meet anywhere, in a library, in a school, in work, in a pub, or in someone’s home.
Currently, there are two Reading Groups that meet in Cwmbran Library each month. Please contact Cwmbran Library for more information.
Torfaen Libraries can offer support to local Reading Groups in several ways:
