Each month, we explore a new theme by diving into books from all genre – fiction, poetry, non-fiction, children’s and young adult – discovering hidden gems to enrich our world both on and off the page. Start with the monthly Theme Sampler – three or more chosen titles to whet your appetite, and around which most author or illustator events are based.
Listen to our podcast when you’re on the go, and book into our live events – community check-ins, workshops and book clubs with authors and artists, and share your thoughts and ideas as we keep the conversation flowing about our favourite subject – books!
