Mark Saturday 20 June in your diary because it's National Reading Group Day!

At The Reading Agency, we know how important reading groups are and how much members enjoy them. They bring people together, widen reading habits by introducing people to new books and authors, and can help you to enjoy books even more. That's why we're going to be celebrating them on 20 June and we want you to join us.
