Royal Literacy Fund Reading Round Reading Group
Saturday 19 September 2026 at 11:00AM
Colchester Library
Event Description
Join us and author Louise Millar for this fresh take on a book group, discussing and analysing stories and poems together.
As part of its programme for the National Year of Reading, the Royal Literacy Fund is facilitating reading groups in libraries across the country in the month of September.
The RLF’s “Reading Round” programme offers library-users an experience very different to conventional book clubs: there is no homework – group members gather to have a short story and a poem read to them, then put under the microscope through engaged discussion. Reading Round is suitable for literary aficionados and novices alike.
Groups are led by RLF Fellows – published authors of national acclaim. Colchester Library is lucky enough to have author Louise Millar running our sessions.
These sessions are free to attend but booking is required. Each session lasts 90 minutes, and will be held on Saturdays 12, 19, and 26 September at 11am.
