Info

International Shared Reading is a chance to gather monthly to read poems and short stories together. Texts will be in their original language and translated in English, for those interested in international literature and those learning English as a foreign language. 

You don't need to prepare anything, we'll read together as a group. There's no pressure to read aloud or contribute unless you're comfortable doing so!

Contact joe.goff@sefton.gov.uk with any questions or access needs you might have.
