About this Event

Join our Cosy Reading Club at Manchester Central Library, our new silent reading group, offering a relaxed, shared space to read in peace and quiet in the company of others.

This is no ordinary book club. There’s no pressured discussions, there’s no set text. Simply bring along something you’d like to read.

Not sure what to read? We've got you covered. Send us a message directly and we'll connect you with our friendly library team who can help you find your next favourite book.

The evening is designed for anyone who enjoys reading, wants a gentle break from busy schedules or simply wants to avoid the rush hour home. Everyone is welcome in our space.

What to expect:1 hour – Quiet Reading

  • Quiet, individual reading in a shared space
  • A calm, welcoming environment with no pressure to speak

30 minutes – Optional Group Sharing

  • At the end of the session, there will be an opportunity to share about your reading experience with others, this is only an invite and there is no expectation to stay or take part

Free light refreshments are provided. Stay as long or as little as you like, this is your space to slow down, escape to a new literary world and find peace in the heart of the city.

Tickets are on a 'pay what you can' offer.
