Quiet Reading Sessions
Celebrate the National Year of Reading with our weekly quiet reading sessions. Bring your own book or borrow one from the library, settle in, and enjoy 90 minutes of peaceful, focused reading alongside fellow book lovers. Afterwards, you’re welcome to stay for a relaxed chat about what you’ve been reading — or simply head off if you prefer.
Held at Wetherby Library every Wednesday, 5pm to 6.30pm (excluding school holidays).
For ages 18+
No booking required
