Celebrate German literature - with fellow enthusiasts!

Would you like to discover new worlds through reading? Then do come along to one of our book clubs and share your thoughts with fellow book lovers.

Our book clubs are run in a hybrid format, which means you are welcome to attend in person at the library, or join from home via Zoom.

We offer the following book clubs:

  • Tuesday (once a month, 6:00 – 7:30 pm)
    This book club is dedicated mainly to classics from the 19th and 20th centuries.
  • Wednesday (once a month, 6:30 – 8:00 pm)
    Here, we focus on current bestsellers and contemporary literature.
  • Thursday (once a month, 11:30 am – 1:00 pm) [in English]
    In this book club, we read and discuss books which are available in English translation. This includes both modern and classic literature.
 

We also offer a monthly translation workshop.

If you’d like to join one of our book clubs, we’d be delighted to hear from you. You can reach our library by phone on +44 20 75964040 or by email via library-london@goethe.de
