L-Lit: York Lesbian Reading Group L-Lit: York Lesbian Reading Group reads books by lesbian/bisexual authors or books with GLBT themes, as much as possible. We read mostly fiction and books are occasionally supplied by the Library.
We meet in the Central Library, Museum Street, York on the third Monday of each month at 6.30pm and books are selected each month for the following meeting. The book group is open to anybody, but is aimed at women, be they lesbian, bisexual or otherwise. You don't have to join, you don't have to pay and you don't even have to buy the books. (We endeavour to ensure they are available cheaply or that others within the group maybe able to lend books for those who are unable to purchase them.) For further info, either drop us an email, join the google group or phone the library - details are on their reading groups page.
