Due to the hot weather, some council services may need to change, but the majority of our services are operating as normal. Read our news story for more information.
Find book groups and writing groups
We host book groups and writing groups across Brighton & Hove. Find out how to join an existing group or start your own.
About our groups
Brighton & Hove Libraries provide a service to reading groups who are either privately-run or who meet on library premises.
We have the occasional vacancy in our library-based groups, both at Jubilee and Hove and at community libraries. We also have a waiting list for places.
If you’d like to set up your own group, we’d be happy to help.
Benefits of joining a book group
You'll get:
access to over 370 dedicated book group titles, which are frequently added to
prize-winning novels, short stories, thrillers, classics, biographies and non-fiction
10 books in our book sets, available for a 42-day loan period
support and advice on running your group
How much it costs
The cost for each group is £40.00 per year, with book sets supplied on a monthly basis.
