Written by Kieran Watkins for The Medwire:A new book club for students and staff is being launched on the Medway Campus.
The Medway Book Club at the Drill Hall Library will be open for all students and staff who have a passion for reading.
Aimed to “encourage reading for pleasure”, the group will hold informal discussions on favorite reads on the last Thursday of every month.
Titles planned to be read at the book club, which have been recommended by library staff, include Jennet Winterson’s ‘Why be happy when you could be normal?’ and John Grisham’s ‘A Time to Kill’.
The club is open to students from across the three universities at the Medway Campus. Members can come to every session, or to as many as they like.
Members are also encouraged to bring their lunch with them. The first meeting starts at 12:10pm on Thursday, November 29 in room DB034 at the Drill Hall Library.
