Tameside Libraries Readers' Groups

Announcement: Tameside Library Service during Tier 4 restrictions in force from 31 December 2020.

From Monday 4 January 2021 Tameside Library buildings will not be open for general use and browsing – however you will be able to return items or collect pre-ordered books at the Library entrance. In addition all online services and the Home Library Service will continue. There will also be strictly managed access to public PCs in library buildings to assist with essential activity such as job applications, benefit claims and digital access to other public services.

We have a range of online services and digital events on offer but due to Covid-19 guidelines there are currently no events or activities taking place in libraries. For full details of revised current services and facilities, please see our Libraries homepage and social media.

Do you love reading? Join one of Tameside Libraries Readers' Groups. 

Members of the group all take copies of the same book to read each month and then meet to discuss it. Groups read a variety of genres over the year and can suggest titles.

• Share your reading experiences
• Read books you would never have thought of trying
• Groups are informal, fun and free
• No literary knowledge required
• Not finished the book or didn’t like it? Still come along and tell us why!

Our readers’ groups meet at:

Ashton Library Groups | Denton Group | Droylsden Groups | Dukinfield Group | Hattersley Group | Hyde Groups | Mossley Groups | Stalybridge Groups | Visually Impaired Readers' Group

Want to set up your own Readers’ Group? Contact information.direct@tameside.gov.uk for more details.
Tameside Libraries offer:

• Multiple copies of books for loan to readers’ groups
• Staff assistance with setting up and running groups.

Please note some groups meet during Open+ hours. To attend you will need to be registered for Open+ access. For full details please visits http://www.tameside.gov.uk/libraries/openplus or contact the library during staffed hours.

Tameside Libraries also offer Book Time for Yourself clubs, which provide a new type of reading experience. Unlike standard readers’ groups members do not need to read the book in advance.
