Young people's reading groups

Joining a reading group is a great way to get together with other young people and discover new books and authors.

Chatterbooks library club

Chatterbooks is a fun after school club for children aged 8 to 10.

In these hour-long themed sessions children are encouraged to think creatively, explore new stories, and have fun playing games.

Make new friends and discover fantastic books by amazing authors. Whether you love fantasy, ghost stories, tales of adventure or learning about ancient history, our free Chatterbooks groups are open to everyone in year 4 and 5!

The groups meet once a month after school (term time only) and each session lasts about an hour.

Contact individual libraries or email libraries@richmond.gov.uk for details and to register your interest.
