Book Groups
If you love to read and would like to discuss great reads with other book lovers come and join one of our book groups.
Our book groups meet monthly at all the Puke Ariki libraries. We have book sets that we loan out to the groups for reading and discussion. Book groups are a great way to meet new people and enjoy a chat in a relaxed, friendly environment.
Book Group in a Bag
If you would prefer to organise your own book group we have book bags you can borrow as part of our Book Group in a Bag programme. They include everything you need to get started, 10 copies of a book and some questions.
