Book of the Month

Each month we'll be choosing a novel we think you'll find gripping, uplifting, thought-provoking, funny - or all of those things!

We invite you to come to the library to see what we've chosen for this month, pick up a copy and give it a try.

Whether you're hooked from page one or just not sure, you'll get the opportunity to share your opinions with others at the library - Book of The Month readers will meet at Kensington Central Library on the first Monday of every month to discuss the chosen book in the friendly library atmosphere.

Discover books you might not have thought of borrowing and enjoy a lively discussion!
