Book Group at South Library - every 2nd Monday of the month
Kia ora neighbours!
I am a librarian at Christchurch City Libraries, and the convener of a book group, part of the Book Discussion Scheme, at South Library in Beckenham.
Meeting time: 2nd Monday of the month, 6pm-7pm
We are looking for new members, as a couple of our lovely members have had to leave due to other commitments. We are a friendly bunch of ladies, with lively conversation and a great mix of opinions, thoughts and experiences.
Anyone is welcome - a love of reading would be great, but we also welcome anyone who would like to try something new :)
A charge does apply for membership - this is paid yearly, so depending on when you join this varies. 1 full year is $60 and you will be provided with 10 books through this time.
Please feel free to contact me - any questions are warmly welcomed.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
