Let's contemplate the strangeness of things
About this Event

Come one, come all to the Library of Being, a book club brought to you by the people who make Ordinary Zine.

In our first book club of the year, we’ll be discussing George Orwell's timeless exploration of totalitarianism, 1984.

The Library of Being is a book club where we explore books through the lens of consciousness and the human experience. We welcome a range of opinions and encourage open-minded discussion.

About Ordinary

Ordinary is a magazine and community that seeks to inspire a different way of being through authentic self-expression, creativity and unity.

Housekeeping

We will be meeting at 7pm at the British Heart Foundation Books and Music in Streatham. Doors open at 7pm, discussions begin around 7:15pm and last for around an hour, or longer if we really get into it. There's also a chance to buy books from the shop after the book club. The shop is a 5-minute walk from Streatham Hill Rail Station or around a 15-minute bus journey from Brixton Tube Station.

Attendance is free, spaces are limited. To let us know you’re coming, get a free ticket.

Finally, and we cannot stress this enough, BHF Books and Music offers floor seating only. We will always provide cosy blankets to soften the blow, but if you really want a seat, bring one with you.

We will say this one more time: LIMITED CHAIRS ARE AVAILABLE. BRING A STOOL OR FLOOR IT.

If you do not have a physical copy of the book, we recommend either borrowing one from your local library or accessing a PDF online.
