Info

Our International Shared Reading at Bootle Library is a chance to explore literature in its original language and translated into English. This month’s lesson will be lead by the Colour of Pomegranates associated artist Dora. 

We've read Nepalese poetry and letters in Portuguese, discussing the context, history and culture around them. 

There's no pressure to read aloud, you can just listen and read for yourself for a moment of pause and engaging with new and exciting writing!

Open to everyone, including local sanctuary seeking and settled communities or those taking ESOL classes who want to practice their English. There's no pressure to read, you're welcome to just listen
