Mary's Book Club at St. Faith's Welcome to Book Club Mary's Book Club at St. Faith's is for anyone who loves a good read, good conversation and good company. Why not try a completely new genre, the latest release or a classic? There is a book out there for everybody and reading will do you the power of good. Our History Mary's Book Club began twenty years ago as a community initiative at Hitchin Girls' School. The two school librarians, including Mary, were founding members and continue to be involved. Some members do have links to Hitchin Girls' School, others none. Book Club moved to St. Faith's following Mary's retirement and we have welcomed new members from St. Faith's. Our Meetings We meet on a Tuesday evening every 4-6 weeks for about an hour of lively conversation. Members are now taking turns to bring along a selection of titles from which we all vote to choose our next chosen read. Everyone is encouraged to join in the conversation about our current read - all opinions are welcome - no matter whether you loved or hated the book. Did you know that reading for as little as six minutes can lower stress levels by 60% by reducing your heart rate and easing muscle tension? Reading is better at reducing stress than music, going for a walking or drinking tea? So why not come along - enjoy a cup of tea - or just read our current book from the comfort of your sofa?
