Burnt Ash Library Reading Group

Bromley libraries support a number of local reading groups and there is one at Burnt Ash Library. The book appreciation groups are for adults wanting to read something different, meet other readers or look more deeply into particular novels and factual books. 

Reading groups are open to anyone who loves reading and are free. At each meeting the library provides copies of a book that has been previously chosen, which is taken away and read by members of the group and then discussed the following month. Some groups are already over-subscribed and times are subject to change so please contact the library for confirmation.

The next meeting at Burnt Ash Library is on Thursday 24th November at 2.15 pm and everyone is welcome. The book to be discussed is Villette by Charlotte Bronte. For more details visit the library or contact the librarians on 020 8460 3405 or by email at burntash.library@bromley.gov.uk
