Woodsend Library

The Woodsend Community Group in partnership with the library are restarting the Wintertime talks at Woodsend Library on the 1 Wednesday in the month. Tickets can be obtained at the library. Please see below list of dates and talks:

Afternoon talks are also held at Hale and Timperley libraries.

A number of Readers Groups have been set up in Trafford with a view to promoting an interest in literature. They are informal gatherings of people from all backgrounds who meet on a regular basis to talk about books and to share their enthusiasm for reading.

Each group has a slightly different approach to the content of the meeting and may discuss themes, fiction genres, favourite titles or perhaps a "Book of the Month". In all cases the common thread is the sharing and enjoyment of books.

Chatterbooks are reading clubs for children aged 8 - 12 years; we read and talk about everything to do with books - stories, authors, illustrators, dramas. There are games, activities, gifts and prizes during the sessions and children will have the opportunity to meet and talk to any visiting authors or storytellers.

There are Chatterbooks groups at Altrincham, Coppice Avenue, Davyhulme, Sale and Woodsend libraries. If you would like to join a Chatterbooks group please contact the library first as there may be a waiting list. Meeting days and times are detailed below:
