The Meetings of Reading Clubs of the Region of Murcia, aim to combine and share the experiences, experiences, difficulties and achievements of all participants, as well as collaborators and monitors that make it possible for this activity to continue growing.
The main objective of the reading club is not the exhaustive analysis of the literary work, but to increase the pleasure of reading by sharing it with others and enjoying it.
The reading clubs are one of the most used resources, by the Municipal Libraries, as a line of promotion of reading and also turns out to be an excellent channel for the dissemination of many other activities and services.
The Red de Bi8bliotecas municipal of Cartagena has 26 reading clubs distributed as follows:
- 22 adult clubs with an average of 20 members.
Of these clubs highlight that one belongs to the URSN (Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit) and another treats the essay as a literary genre, the others revolve around the novel and on occasion, the theater
- 2 youth clubs
- 2 children's clubs
Reading clubs do not stop growing.
Every day we receive demands from users with a lot of interest in belonging to one of those who already exist or forming a new one.
