CoLab Book Group - World Book Day 2026

A couple of years ago Colab formed a lunchtime book group. Although people have come and gone from the group, what is evident is their passion and desire to read. 

Having chatted to the current members of the group, they all felt it was a joy to have an opportunity to come away from their desks and talk about books, We don’t always talk about the book we have just read, we often diverge to books by the same author, books on our bedside table, books we want to read next. The social aspect of the group is just as important as the time spent reading; it takes us away from the day to day stresses of the working day. 

We enjoy receiving copies of the book, courtesy of Colab, which we feel encourages us to focus on reading, ignoring other distractions. Books give you the opportunity to think differently about the world and other people’s lives, they light our imagination and spark ideas and connections with our own lives. 

We love it when a book surprises us, challenges us, and uplifts us and we look forward to sharing these emotions with our work colleagues in the Colab book group.
