Pānui Tahi (Shared Reading)
Te Awe Library
Not your average book group! Running monthly on the third Tuesday of the month, our Pānui Tahi (Shared Reading) sessions are small, friendly reading sessions where we experience the fun of ‘Shared Reading’ and enjoy short stories and poetry read aloud over a cuppa. Everything provided. Everyone welcome!
‘Shared Reading’ is a movement that aims to break down barriers between people and literature, create connections and build community. Find out more about these groups and this movement on The Reading Revolution's website.
There are pauses for kōrero / discussion about the deeper meanings in the text, and what the group thinks about it, as well as pauses for kawhi and tī / coffee and tea, and pīhikete / biscuits!
Shared reading isn’t about what you might already know about literature, nor is it ‘literary criticism.’

How it works: A group of 8-10 participants, one facilitator…

If you are aged 11-15, here is an opportunity to join us and travel virtually from Wellington to Melbourne in Australia and Kentucky in the US!
