The Library’s Relaxed Book Group, led by the lovel

The Library’s Relaxed Book Group, led by the lovely Jo Buckingham continues in 2026. The next session takes place on Tuesday 27th January from 2pm-3pm.

This friendly group is for anyone who loves books but doesn’t want the pressure of a traditional book club. Rather than reading a specific book, we share what’s on our bookshelf or simply come for tea, biscuits and company in the beautiful book-filled atmosphere of The Morrab library. Find out more on our website (link in bio).

Need something to fend off the winter blues? An hour or two, with a warm beverage and some of the leftover Christmas chocs? Why not dive into our Library talks archive?

There is something there for everyone, but which will you start with?
