Southwark Libraries Online Reading Group meets on the third Thursday of every month at 6.45pm to discuss a different book. We follow the same programme as the 'Must Read Before You Die' group, based at Dulwich Library.
If you'd like to join in any of our discussions, email our Library Development Officer, Wes - wes.white@southwark.gov.uk - and he can send you the link and details you need.
In February, we're discussing 'Robinson Crusoe' by Daniel Defoe. Pick up a copy in the library or an eBook via BorrowBox for free with your Southwark Libraries card.
Don't worry if you haven't finished the book - as long as you don't mind spoilers, we'd be happy to have you join us and hear your thoughts and feelings about it.
