Shared Reading with The Reader

Shared Reading is back at Chester Library at Storyhouse this Friday 30 October, part of a weekly series that brings people together around stories and poems. It's a group session where the reading is shared aloud, and the whole thing is built around the idea of letting stories and poems come to life when they're heard rather than read in silence.

The format is intentionally low-pressure. There's no requirement to talk, and you're not expected to read aloud, so anyone can simply turn up and listen. If you do feel like joining in, you can, but the session works just as well if you'd rather just sit back and hear the reading. It's as much about the company as it is about the text.

It's a weekly thing, so if this Friday doesn't suit, there's another one the following week. The sessions run from 2pm to 3.30pm, and it's free to attend. You'll find it at Chester Library at Storyhouse, on Hunter Street, Chester, CH1 2AR.
