Become a member of a reading group
Westmorland and Furness libraries offer a dedicated loan service to reading groups.
How it works
Each set of books consists of 12 paperback copies of the title, plus a copy in large print and talking book formats, where these are available.
Registration to use the service is free and there are no charges for borrowing sets.
All your group needs to do is elect a secretary who will be responsible for organising the loans through our reading group loan service.
When you have been registered as a member of a reading group, you will be able to access the online catalogue and search for reading group books.
