Reading Communities

As a result of successful bids by their library services, the communities of Barry, in the Vale of Glamorgan, and Llanelli, in Carmarthenshire, have been chosen as the National Year of Reading’s Reading Communities. Each community voted for their favourite books over the summer and the most popular books will be the focus of a whole host of events during the autumn. Pop into the website to see how the communities’ plans are developing!

08 Clubs

Fifty 08 clubs have been established throughout Wales and they’ll be holding their first meeting in mid September.

On this website, club members will be able to create on-line profiles for their clubs and write regular blogs. There will be monthly prizes for the best profiles!
