Kirklees Library Services have a wide range of books, fiction & non-fiction, available for reading groups to borrow. We pick one a month from this list to read & discuss. Open to new members. Ask in the library for details.

Non fiction reading group

Non fiction reading group.
Book group with a difference, for those with an interest in non fiction: unlike other groups we don't all read the same book. Instead, we meet once a month to talk about any non fiction books we've read. These can range from geology to economics, biography to nature writing, Stephen Hawkins (Brief History Of Time) to Adam Kay (This Is Going To Hurt). New members welcome. Ask in the library for details.
