North Watford Teenage Reading Group

If you love chatting about books and enjoy meeting new people then come along to the North Watford TRG! If you’d like to join or want to find out more, drop in and pick up a leaflet. New members are welcome aged 12-16 from September 2007 so bring a friend too!

You’ll get the opportunity to:

• buy books for the library
• add material to the TRG webpages, e.g. design your own avatar, write reviews and features
• get to read books before they’re published
• write to authors

and these are just some of the things you’ll get a chance to do!

Meet some of the Mean Teens from North Watford TRG!
