A different short story each month. Read at home and join us for a discussion on each third Thursday of the month. All are welcome.
Are you looking for a book club but don't have the time for a whole book? Join us for our short fiction reading group. Each month we'll read a different short story at home and discuss it in the library.
The texts cover a variety of topics, genres and authors. We'll discuss what we liked, what we didn't like and what the stories made us think about.
Call 9355 4200 to register your interest.
Print copies of the stories are available at Fawkner Library.
