Is the only reason you never judge a book by its cover because you can’t read the cover in the first place? With three rooms to suit different ability levels, the Book Club is a welcoming group who meet every week to answer each other’s questions regarding reading using refreshable braille and to practice reading amongst friends. You don’t have to choose your group in advance, and you can move to another group at any time if you think it would be more suitable.

We are currently reading Just William, by Richmal Crompton. It can be found:
