Join a Group

Come along — 

  • Small group — usually eight or so

  • An experienced Reader Guide reads aloud — you don't have to read a word yourself unless you want to

  • Talking or just listening — both count as taking part

  • No book to buy or read beforehand — just turn up

In Canberra:

Café Stepping Stone, Dickson

Thursday, 3pm

Canberra Food Co-op, Civic

Thursday, 12pm

The Book Cow, Kingston

Mondays, 6pm

More groups coming soon

Not in Canberra? Join online:

Shared Reading is a global practice, and a couple of organisations run free online sessions:

  • Shared Reading NSW — run by Christopher Smith, who trained me → [link]

  • The Reader (UK) — the original Shared Reading organisation, runs regular online groups via Zoom → [link]

Want a group somewhere new?

Tell us where — a workplace, a library, a community space, an aged care home — and we'll see what we can do.
