Always wanted to get into the habit of reading but distractions keep getting in the way? The Reading Club is the solution for you!

This is a community of new readers and curious minds to come together and reconnect with the simple joys of reading and discovery. Every semester, our librarians and you will work with The Reading Club (TRC) to curate a list of recommended titles that the community will enjoy together for the rest of the semester.

If you fancy joining a no-pressure, student-driven community like this, then pull up a chair and join us to read, reflect and connect!

We'll be launching The Reading Club in August 2026, but you can signal your interest now by letting us know what book you want to read. Voting closes on 30 June 2026!

• Discover the joy of reading through print books.
• Provide dedicated spaces for reading and intellectual exploration through structured and engaging library reading programmes.
