Lyndsey's Book Club at Wicklow Library

Lyndsey’s Book Club meets monthly at Wicklow Library on The Mall in Wicklow town centre, on the second Thursday of the month from 7pm to 8pm. The next session is Thursday, 13 August 2026. It is a library-run adult reading group, part of Wicklow County Council’s broader library programme, and it gives regular readers in the town a fixed monthly slot to discuss a shared book rather than a loose informal arrangement.

What to Expect

The group reads and discusses one book a month, with the title generally set in advance so members can read it before the session. As a council library group it runs to a set format familiar from public library book clubs elsewhere: an hour of discussion led informally rather than a formal lecture, open to anyone in the community who wants to join regardless of how many previous sessions they have attended. Wicklow Library also runs a full programme of other adult and children’s events through the month, including language groups and knitting classes, so the book club sits within a fairly active community calendar at the same branch.

The club takes its name informally from the library staff member who runs it, a common pattern for branch-level book clubs where the librarian leading the group becomes the point of continuity as the reading list changes month to month. New members are welcome to join at any point during the year rather than needing to start with a particular title, and the library can advise on borrowing a copy of the current book before the session if a member does not already have one.
