Our English reading group features monthly encounters, organized as follows:

• The Sirmione Book Club English, on uneven months in the Municipal Library, with books proposed by the coordinators Rosemary Williamson, Rosalind Rabbitt and Ann Davies.
• The English Cafè, on even months, where to more freely talk about books we’d like to read, share, propose. The English Cafè, as the name suggests, will not take place in the Public Library, but in a more informal venue, namely a pub, bar, hotel or vinery in Sirmione. The designated place will be announced each time.
