Read-aloud Book Club
 

Read-aloud Book Club is a space where carers come together once a month and take turns in reading a collection of short stories, prose, and poems to one another.  There is no set reading between sessions, freeing carers up from the pressures of 'having to read' passage before the meeting. 

“It encourages reading for enjoyment. It inspires community, camaraderie, and excitement. It creates a shared experience, revels in fandoms and series, makes reading a true event.”  (Katrina R. Pollitt, Author, Librarian)
 
You will require access to a computer with speakers (a microphone and video camera are a bonus). Event sessions are delivered using Zoom conferencing. Carers NSW will send you instructions about how you can join the session on the day before each session.

The duration of this session is 60 minutes.
