Description
Books and Bants is a book club for busy people. There is no need to read anything in advance. We will have some books around for inspiration. You might just want to chat about what's on your to-read list.
November's Books and Bants theme is Disability History Month.
This might be:
- Books by disabled authors
- Books with disabled characters
- Books celebrating disability history
- Anything else this theme means to you
You may also find inspiration from our Disability history resources.
Books and Bants runs throughout the academic year both in person and online. If this session isn't for you, we have lots more dates and themes coming up.
