We meet once a month and books are chosen well in advance to allow people time to access library copies or copies loaned from other members. It shouldn\'t be expensive to read! We occassionally organise group outings to literary events such as world book night and local book festivals. Our members represent a range of ages and backgrounds and we\'re a mixed gender group. Get in touch via the Oomoo cafe on Smithdown Road or via group contact details, but please let us know if you\'re coming along! Accessibility: good access but not perfect for wheelchairs - there is a small step up to the bathroom that can be managed with help (help always on hand), next to bus stop, low background noise levels, bring any small children along and get in touch with any requirements and we\'ll do our best to help.
