Cosy Reading Club
Bring a book. Get cosy and read alongside other book fans. Take some time for yourself and escape into a story.
Join our Cosy Reading Club at Manchester Central Library, our new silent reading group, offering a relaxed, shared space to read in peace and quiet in the company of others.
This is no ordinary book club. There’s no pressured discussions, there’s no set text. Simply bring along something you’d like to read.
Not sure what to read? We’ve got you covered. Send us a message directly and we’ll connect you with our friendly library team who can help you find your next favourite book.
The evening is designed for anyone who enjoys reading, wants a gentle break from busy schedules or simply wants to avoid the rush hour home. Everyone is welcome in our space.
