A time to set aside for the pleasure of reading.

If you love reading but sometimes struggle to find time to sit down with a book, why not try out the new Read & Unwind Time at your local library, where you will find the space to read, away from the distractions of everyday life, in the company of fellow readers.

With no set book or obligation to talk, Read & Unwind Time is an opportunity to read your own book, at your own pace, in a relaxed environment and as part of a community of people who share your love of books.

Reading is a great way to de-stress. Taking time to read in a peaceful environment can improve your focus, relaxation, and overall wellbeing.

It’s easy to join in. Simply find the time of Read & Unwind Time at your local library, turn up with your book and sit down and read!

When can I attend? 

To suit busy lifestyles, we have arranged for most of these sessions to take place in the early evening. At Libraries Unlocked locations you will need to have upgraded to Libraries Unlocked membership to enjoy Read and Unwind Time outside core staffing hours. If you haven’t already done so, please arrange a Libraries Unlocked induction and free membership upgrade with local library staff before attending your first Read & Unwind Time.

Membership is free and for more information you can visit: Libraries Unlocked
