Are book clubs the original social network? 📚

Before group chats, before social media, people were gathering around books.

Join us for a special free online event to celebrate Book Club Day UK on 11 September.

Hosted by Ruby Gray, this conversation with author Yassmin Abdel-Magied and historian Dr Michael Durrant will explore the history – and future – of book clubs, and how shared reading has helped shape personal and social change.

Whether you’re part of a book club or simply love reading, come along and join the conversation.

📅 11 September
💻 Free online event

Book your place and celebrate book clubs with us: https://readingagency.org.uk/our-work/events/book-clubs-the-original-social-network/

A caller claiming to be from the Council? Stop and check. 🚨

Residents are being warned about a telephone scam involving someone falsely claiming to represent Walsall Council.

We recently received reports of a caller claiming they needed to arrange an energy efficiency visit and threatening the resident with a £1,000 fine if they refused.

Walsall Council would not make calls of this nature or threaten residents with a fine over the telephone.

☎️ If you receive a suspicious call, hang up and verify it using an official contact number.

Do not provide personal or financial information to unexpected callers.

Report similar calls to Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 0808 223 1133.
