Founded in 1982, the Suffolk Book League promotes the pleasures of reading by bringing popular and distinguished writers to speak in Ipswich.

You can join the Suffolk Book League at any of our meetings, via this website or by post. Although you are not required to be a member in order to attend our events, membership ensures that you receive the quarterly newsletter Book Talk as well as reduced price entry and the ability to purchase advance tickets.

SBL is proud to sponsor Literary Suffolk, a new booklet showcasing Suffolk's literary heritage.

The 2010 programme is now available from our Meetings page. Speakers this year include Humphrey Hawksley, Jenny Diski, Hilary Mantel, Jenny Uglow, Selina Hastings and Eamon Duffy.

Our Links page promotes other local literary events and organisations. We are grateful to the following for their support: The Ipswich Institute, Gotelee and Goldsmith Solicitors and the Aldeburgh Bookshop.
