Interest and Social Groups for Adults

Looking for a new interest or simply wanting to socialise? Why not come along to one of the groups below?

Reading Groups

Reading groups are a great way to socialise, read books that you may not normally chose and share your love of reading. Groups are held at most of our libraries. Contact Claire Pratt for details of availability: email readers@stockton.gov.uk Tel: 01642 528044
