In January, we ran an event for the Nuit de la Lecture,  France’s national celebration of reading. Now we are running monthly follow-on events. They will be on-line, using video conferencing.

Your fellow readers will present a favourite book, read a few pages; then we will open the discussion. All the titles come from Project Gutenberg – you can access the e-books for free.

First event : 3 books, 3 readers

Jeff Ball – Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy

John Cassini – The Awakening, and Selected Short Stories by Kate Chopin

John Gallienne – The Final Problem (Sherlock Holmes) by Arthur Conan Doyle

The event is free of charge to library members, but you must register here
