A Lichfield museum is hoping to help local people keep at least one of their New Year’s resolutions.
The Samuel Johnson Birthplace in the city centre is launching a book club.
A spokesperson said: “One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to read more, and where better to find a page-turner than in the home of a literary giant?
“Held the first Wednesday of every month at 1pm, the Birthplace Book Club is free to join – donations are welcome – and offers its members the opportunity to enjoy a cup of tea while delving into anything from thrillers to the classics, following the selections from the Radio 4 Book Club programme.
“New members are always welcome to the small, friendly and informal group. February’s session will be discussing Donna Tarrt’s The Secret History, so please just come along or contact the Museum if you would like more information.”
For more details call 01543 264 972, email sjmuseum@lichfield.gov.uk or pop into the Museum on the corner of the Market Square.
