The biddenden community library silent book club.

biddenden community library What's On

The community library is looking to start a silent book club with the Bakehouse in Biddenden.

At a silent book club a community of readers gather in public cafes, bookstores, Pubs and libraries, to read together in quiet camaraderie. There's no assigned reading, you choose what you want to read. Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the selected book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Here all readers are welcome to come along and have a quiet time reading, enjoying drinks and snacks, and then a chat after.

To find out more please use our contact form or enquire at the library desk.

 

We are more than just books!

As well as a great selection of books we offer the following activities in the library: -

Community café: There is always a free cup of tea, coffee or squash and biscuits available (although donations are always accepted) and a place to stop and chat.

Odds & Socks our knit and natter sessions are held at the library from 2.00 – 4.00pm every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.
The group consist of skilled and talented knitters/crafters and new knitters too. The group has taught many beginners to become confident in their projects.  If you are interested in joining this friendly group, please leave your name and contact details at the library desk, or call in and chat with one of the team.

Game-On Table games are held in the library on the 1 & 3rd Tuesday each month (alternate with knit & natter)
