Book Circle bibliotherapy

We have established a Book Circle for library users, facilitated by two keen staff members. There are about 14 people in the group, and meetings are held once a month, during the day. Participants are invited to bring along one book that they have read and enjoyed, and talk about it to the group. One staff member leads the group and the other acts as the scribe, recording book details and comments. This information is later printed and distributed to members, either via email or post. We end the session with afternoon tea and an informal chat, and new friendships are being formed as a result. One of our members has established a Book Circle blog at http://bookcirc.blogspot.com.
