About the club

The aim of British Council Reading Club is to promote the habit of reading, to help maintain reading skills and to facilitate non-competitive book discussions.

How often do we meet?

Twice a month.

Will it be boring?

We are going to read for pleasure and discussion will often lively but never boring. The reading club will be run together by members of staff from the library and the club members so you can decide on how we conduct the future discussions.

What are we going to read in the next sessions?
