Reading brings community together

Members of Newbiggin Libraries Reading for Wellbeing group star in a new film about the power of reading.

In the film, they reflect on the positive impact the reading group has had on both them and the community.

Reading for Wellbeing groups were introduced in 2021 by author of the Vera Stanhope series, Ann Cleeves. 

The project is about bringing readers together to benefit from the power of reading for pleasure. The idea is that readers share their experiences with others to improve their wellbeing. 

If you’d like to get involved and set up a community group in your library, please get in touch at mylibrary.co.uk.
