Make Friends with a Book

Reading Together Make Friends with a Book groups are small, friendly reading groups which meet in libraries in Sandwell. Why Reading Reading is a way of making sense of the world and our place in it. Shared reading is pleasurable and relaxing. Reading takes us to another world - it helps us to balance our lives and see things differently. Make Friends with a Book Our group helps you to use reading to make a difference to your life and feel better with a book. We meet weekly to share stories and books over a cup of tea. Who is it for? Everyone! Make Friends with a Book groups are perfect for everyone over sixteen years-old, whether you're a reader, a non-reader, or someone simply looking for some time and space to relax. What will the group read? Books, short stories and poems that appeal to you. All you have to do is listen. You won't have to read aloud unless you want to - the group leader will do that. Within the session, we think about words and thoughts in the story and what they mean to us. The group also helps with: - relaxation - memory - concentration - confidence Make Friends with a Book is supported by Sandwell Primary Care Trust
