About the event
To celebrate the National Year of Reading we will be hearing from the National Literacy Trust about the work they do to promote reading with children and families. We will also think about what reading means to us, discuss some of our favourite books, and discover the huge range of resources available in Jesmond Library.
Wellbeing for Life meetings normally take place on the first Wednesday of each month, in Jesmond Library. Each month's meeting has a different theme, all within the overall context of the Five Ways to Wellbeing.
All are welcome to join us, but the meetings are primarily for older people.
Refreshments are provided and the Community Minibus may be available if transport is an issue for you. Attendance is free, but donations help cover the cost of refreshments. Please email events@jesmondlibrary.org if you have any queries including possible help with transport.
Why not come along; you…
