I Love Books Club
The I LOVE BOOKS Club is a collaborative fusion between Hammersmith London, the local business community and H&F Library. The club has flourished ever since its birth back in August 2010, where it started initially as part of a summer campaign to encourage reading in the borough. Notably, the book club is the first of its kind for the borough of Hammersmith and was designed especially to encourage interaction between the Hammersmith business community.

The club is led by library facilitators Elin Jones and Rob Symmons of Hammersmith and Fulham Libraries and reading enthusiasts are invited to a 1 hour session in the Dartmouth Castle,  26 Glenthorne Road, Hammersmith, W6 0LS.  Reading is sometimes seen as a solitary experience, but joining this club will allows individuals to freely express their own views as well listen to other people's take on the chosen book.

The Book Club runs on a bi-monthly basis and the next club session is taking place on Thursday 24th May where the group will be discussing "The Hand that First Held Mine" by author Maggie O'Farrell.

If you would like to take part in Book Club or would like to request  more information, please contact Grace Nelson; invites@hammersmithlondon.co.uk or call 020 8741 8157. Books will always be issued on a first come first served basis.
