Book Group Survey Results

At the end of 2022, BDS surveyed our book groups, asking them about the benefits and challenges of book group (including COVID-19) and how satisfied they were with our service to them. We're pleased to report our groups are pretty happy and the majority coped with the challenges of the past couple of years very well. Check out the visual summary below.
