YES?

Then let’s set up our own group in Gamlingay - and where better to meet than in our own Resource Centre

WHY?

To encourage us to read books that we might not have chosen for ourselves for fun and relaxation and to meet new people.

HOW?

We can borrow sets of books from CLS (Cambridge Library Service) stocks (requested through our Resource Centre) and meet once a month to discuss how much we have enjoyed reading them.

INTERESTED?

Then come and discover how you can be involved and be a (local) part of the biggest reading group in the Country : Meet in the Resource Centre on Thursday 5th February, 2004 at 7.30pm

For further details: www.bbc.co.uk/bigread and remember if you don’t have access to the internet from home, come to the Resource Centre and get online for free from there…!
