Chatterbooks Reading Groups

Chatterbooks Reading Groups Launched If your children are aged between 8 and 12 years old, and enjoy chatting about books, why not encourage them to join a Chatterbooks reading group?

Chatterbooks groups meet once a month in the library, and each month the meeting has a different theme. For example:
  • Favourite authors
  • Design a book cover
  • Games and activities
  • Jokes and riddles
  • A theme of your child's choice!


  • Chatterbooks members can be the first to choose from brand new library books, or read books even before they've been published! Every Chatterbooks member receives a free pack full of goodies.

    If you think your child might be interested, check out one of the reading groups below. Chatterbooks membership lasts for one school year - places are limited so register early to avoid disappointment!
