Book Clubs for Kids

If you're super into reading, and want to share that passion with others, consider joining one of our library book clubs – the perfect places to meet other like-minded readers!

A book appears to be flying through the air, using its covers as wings.

We love exploring new books and old favourites at the library, and we know you do, too! All of our book clubs are totally free and have something unique to offer, so feel free to come along to a session and see if you like the vibe.

Our book clubs are often targeted at tamariki and rangatahi of different ages, so be sure to check the event calendar to make sure a particular club is right for you.

Are you interested in starting a book club at your local library? We would love to hear from you – get in touch via email and we'll do what we can to facilitate your group.
