A reading group based in Upton Community Library is looking for more members.

With the library yet to open up again, it is uncertain who will join back, but there is potential. Located near a primary school, the group hopes to reach out to the parents who wait in the library's cafe area. Furthermore, the group seeks to expand into the ex-mining village that has a large proportion of elderly people. We meet at Waggon Lane, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, and welcome adults with low-level literacy and writing, as well as women-only members.
