Book Groups

Book groups are a great way for book-lovers to enjoy reading and the pleasure of each other’s company. They can be a useful discipline for encouraging you to read more, to read outside the genres you normally read, or simply as a way to make new friends and meet like-minded readers.

QPL’s book groups cover a wide range of topics and cross between fiction and non-fiction books. The groups meet at various times and locations.
