LEESLIEFDE (Love for Reading): undisturbed reading in a comfortable setting without distractions - THIS IS NO REGULAR BOOK CLUB, JUST BRING YOUR OWN BOOK or E-READER!
LeesLiefde invites book lovers to put their phones aside for one evening a month and immerse themselves in the world of reading. Every last Tuesday of the month, readers can curl up in the 'loungeloods' of the Werkplek, a cosy workspace that is transformed into an atmospheric reading environment. There are no smartphones, no email and no social media – just the soothing pages of a good book.

What can you expect?

• Silence and focus: The evenings are designed to promote concentration and tranquility. Participants are encouraged to turn off their mobile devices and enjoy uninterrupted reading time.
• Quiet atmosphere in a homely environment: you read in the lounge area of De Werkplek, on a comfortable sofa, a cosy armchair, with soft lighting and a selection of tea, coffee or a beer or wine to complete the experience.
• Literary connections: you meet other book lovers and can talk about the books you have read, if you feel the need to do so.

How do you participate?
You can always join in, just mark the date in your agenda and reserve a spot via this link. Everyone is welcome, regardless of your reading preference or the book or brand of e-reader you bring. De Werkplek uses the Pay What You Like-principle; you show your appreciation for the evening by means of a donation.

LeesLiefde was founded by independent editor Liesbeth Vries of Redactie van Lies, in collaboration with de Werkplek, with the aim of creating a reading moment in our busy lives.
