Reading groups
If you've ever read a brilliant book and wanted to talk about it with someone who's read it too, then joining a reading group could be the answer.
Reading groups - also known as book groups - meet regularly to discuss books. They range from a few friends getting together to more organised groups set up in libraries. They are relaxed, informal and, above all, fun.
Newspapers and magazines
A variety of newspapers and magazines are available for you to look at in Abingdon library. Some local newspapers on microfilm are also available.
Local and family history
Every library holds information about the history of the local area. Some libraries have a local studies centre with a larger collection of materials about Oxfordshire.
· How do I start tracing my local family history?
· Where can I find old pictures of my village?
· How old is my house?
Enjoy finding answers to questions like these in Oxfordshire libraries. Our staff will help you to use online resources, find the books and other materials you need, or refer you on to specialist services.
