Open Book
Inverclyde Libraries now have two trained Open Book Lead Readers who will launch Inverclyde Libraries’ own Open Book shared reading sessions on Wednesday 30th November 2022.
The sessions will be running on the last Wednesday of the month from Greenock Central Library , 2.30-3.30pm. There is no need to book sessions or read anything in advance, participants can just come along to listen to a story and poem and join in with the discussions in a relaxed, informal atmosphere with a cuppa on hand. All welcome.

The Writers Well
New Year, New You?
Why not join The Writer's Well, a new weekly, digital drop-in creative writing group which will meet weekly via Zoom from 18th Jan 2022. We’ll be drawing inspiration from our favourite pieces of writing, sharing prompts to encourage new writing and making new friends along the way.
Once a month we’ll meet up in person on our Writer’s Well Walks, where we’ll share our writing and seek inspiration from the world around us. These short, gentle strolls will incorporate plenty of rest and reflection breaks and time for tea/coffee and writing.
These informal, fun sessions are open to anyone who lives in, works in or is otherwise connected with Inverclyde.
Register by 10.01.22 online at the link in the Other Websites section or pop into your local library.
Sessions run each Tuesday 11:00 - 12:00. Once registered you can attend each week or drop-in whenever suits.
