Reading Groups Collection

Reading Group Home

The Reading Groups Collection is a central collection of book titles specifically for Reading Groups to borrow. The collection has been set up to ensure that there are multiple copies of titles that we hope Reading Groups will want to read.
The list is below, click on the blue title to read a synopsis and request copies for your reading group.
If the title you want to read is on loan we can add your group to the waiting list and let you know when the title is available again.
These are not the only books your Reading Group can borrow. Other titles can be borrowed from your library in the usual way.
