Jane Austen Book Club @ Kiama Library

Next date: Tuesday, 24 June 2025 | 05:30 PM to 06:30 PM

Love Jane’s books but don’t have anyone to talk to about them?

Join our very special Jane Austen 250th anniversary book club, where we will meet, drink tea and examine her six novels across six months, starting in June.

We think even Lady Catherine De Bourgh would approve.

Please note, some copies of the books will be made available through the library, although cannot be guaranteed.

This is a FREE event, bookings essential. Book for all six sessions, or come along for your favourite books.

This event is part of our Jane Austen Festival 250th anniversary celebrations.
