We have two wonderful volunteers, but encourage all members of the group to suggest books and lead sessions.
Volunteer Rachel Ward is the author of the popular Ant and Bea Mysteries set in Kingsleigh, a town which bears a remarkable resemblance to Keynsham. Rachel also wrote the YA series Numbers and hosts a fortnightly book group on twitter using the hashtag #CosyCrimeClub.
Our group is open to all LibrariesWest members. If you don’t yet have a library card, you register HERE.
The group is aimed at adults, but under 18s can join us if they are accompanied by a responsible adult.

You only need to book one session to be signed up to all!
