The book club The Page is a collaborative project between the Hafnarfjörður Library and the Hreiðrið Youth Club.
The Page differs from other book clubs in that, instead of everyone reading a predetermined book and discussing it, two theme questions are presented one week before each meeting. Participants then bring or talk about a book they connect to either one or both of the theme questions.
This book club is intended for young people aged 16–25 and meets every other Tuesday at 17:30, sometimes in Hreiðrið and sometimes at the library. The aim is to shape the themes and program based on the participants and occasionally offer workshops and author visits.
Snacks provided, always free of charge.
The Hreiðrið Youth Club is located in the Innovation Center, Skólabraut 3.
Upcoming dates:
5 May 2026 at 17:30 – Hafnarfjörður Library (Strandgata 1)
