Book Clubs that are more than just fun

Reading and discussing can be more than just fun. It can:

• Help your mind to stay active. Reading promotes mental wellbeing. For more information, click Retire with a book
• Help build communication and interpersonal skills that are important in the workplace. For more information, click Corporate Book Club.
• Help build or develop personal and social skills that are important for living. For more information, click Skill Building Book Club.

Book clubs are best run by the participants, but that is not to say that a helping hand might not be needed to get the club started in some circumstances. A bit of guidance on how it works might also not go astray.

There is a role in some organisations for someone to start a book club for others who may not have the time or confidence to start it for themselves.

Reading-for-Fun can help with setting up book clubs that are more than just for fun.

Training notes for using Reading-for-Fun, and in some cases face-to-face training, are available. Click Training for further information.
