Thursday Afternoon Readers' Group at Hale Library


A friendly and relaxed readers' group where book lovers can discover new authors, share their views and enjoy great conversations over great books.

Whether you're a lifelong book lover or simply looking to read something different, this friendly readers’ group is a wonderful way to share thoughts, exchange recommendations and explore a wide variety of books.

From contemporary fiction and historical novels to thought-provoking classics and bestselling favourites, each month brings a new title and an opportunity to enjoy lively discussion in a relaxed and informal setting.

Readers' groups offer more than just a chance to talk about books. They provide an opportunity to meet new people, broaden your reading horizons and gain fresh perspectives from fellow readers. You may even discover a genre, author or story you would never have picked up on your own.

Looking for your next great read and some friendly conversation? Pull up a chair, grab a cuppa and join Hale Library's Afternoon Readers' Group - on the second Thursday of the month.

Upcoming Reads:
- 8 October - Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
- 12 November - The Women by Kristin Hannah
- 10 December - Heartburn by Nora Ephron

It's completely free to join but places are limited – just register your interest by email at: libraries@trafford.gov.uk
