Unfortunately, Shrewsbury Library found it difficult to accommodate all needs in the form of a book group they launched earlier this year so they have decided to launch a more general group. The group will meet monthly and will include an activity and a coffee and chat session with refreshments provided.

They have organised their first meeting for this new group on Monday 21st October at 2 pm. The activity is a 40-minute Mindfulness session with an accredited teacher. Anyone living with a long-term health condition is welcome, along with anyone else a participant may wish to bring.

Event description: The next book club will take place held on Monday 21st January at 14:00. The book we are reading is A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen and can be collected from Shrewsbury Library. There is no need for potential members to have a library card themselves and we do have a couple of Quick Read editions and one DVD left.

Key points of the group are:

  • Group is an hour-long but split between a half hour ‘coffee and chat’ (refreshments provided) and half hour book discussion. This is to cater to those who may struggle with concentration and to encourage a relaxed group.
  • Where possible, books will be provided in several formats (quick reads, DVD’s etc).
  • Run by someone living with chronic illness.
  • Recommendations can be made for future books.
