Clubs and activities for teenagers

Our teenage reading group (trg), sessions are not all about reading. A session may include a creative writing workshop, careers advice, a book buy, writing articles for magazines, as well as a discussion of books.

We often have special guests too, like bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson. And we offer other things like our DJ and rapping session at Peckham Library.

We also run a Goals club for all football fans, with challenging football quizzes to test your knowledge. And if you enjoy reading Manga stories then the Manga Club is for you.

Sessions are for young people aged between 11 and 16 years of age. You don't need to book, just turn up and join in.
