At Home Library Service Reading Group

Meets: Fridays, once a month at 2.00pm

This friendly group in Bury St Edmunds library is for all older people, including users of the At Home Library Service and their carers, families or volunteer visitors. We offer a stimulating and varied programme of books and topics to read and discuss.

If you require use of the free transport then contact the library at least one week before the event.  Group numbers are very limited so please contact the library for more information.

The group, in partnership with other At Home Library Service reading groups in Suffolk and Suffolk Artlink, published a book called Full of Life.  600 copies of the book were published and are currently available in libraries across the county.  Search the library catalogue.
