Social Groups
Meet like minded people through your interests at the library – a safe, welcoming place.
Wordplay events for pre-school children and their parents
All our libraries hold regular Baby Bounce, Tot Rock and Storytime sessions for babies and young children and their parents/carers, often online. You can hear stories, sing, move and play with toys and instruments together. The sessions are free, informal and welcoming, with no need to book in advance.
Top-time events for the over-55s
We run regular groups and drop-ins for older people and their families and carers across all our libraries. They provide an informal way to catch up with friends, while enjoying games, activities and talks.
Open Space drop-ins
Informal drop-ins for anybody interested in their mental health and wellbeing, as well as their families and carers.
Open Space groups are currently run online. Find an online Open Space group.
Discussion groups
Most libraries run one or more book, film or poetry discussion groups, for people of all ages. We’re also more than happy for you to set up your own new discussion group at your local library.
