Find a bookgroupFeaturing… The Scottish Poetry Library 'Round Table' groupThis poetry reading group meets monthly, on a Monday from 6-8pm, with a break in the summer and in January, and is friendly and informal. Group members choose what to read each month, and the group leads itself - there's a staff member on duty at the reception desk to help with any queries (and of course ensure enough chocolate biscuits for all). Meetings are held in the bright and airy new Scottish Poetry Library building in Edinburgh. They are free, with a voluntary £1 donation towards refreshments. To list your poetry bookgroup on this page, contact Lilias Fraser.  SPL 'Round Table' Reading GroupContact us to add your name to the reminder email the week before each meeting.
