All chit chat and tall tales welcome
We’re excited to start expanding through public libraries in 2021 thanks to government funding.
What we do
Reading Friends is an exciting UK-wide programme from The Reading Agency.
Developed with funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, Reading Friends tackles loneliness by bringing people together to read, chat and share stories.
