Details

Welcome to all regular and new members of our Silent Book Club!
Whether you are an avid reader or just starting your reading journey, this event is for you.

For first timers, the question might be: What is a Silent Book Club meeting? Well, you can introduce yourself, share a bit about your book if you wish and then read (or listen to) your own book for about an hour.
Perhaps you haven't started the book, you could just share how you came across it. You can also choose not to speak. There is no script. After our reading time, you may wish to share insights from your book if you wish.

E Books are fine, audio books are fine, if you need a book the library has plenty and others might also have recommendations!

Write your book title on the board as you arrive.

2:30 - 3pm - introduce yourself and talk briefly about the book you are reading (this part is always interesting if you haven't been to an event yet).
3 - 4:20pm - read or listen to your book silently by yourself (there will be light background music).
Those who may wish to stretch or walk about a bit can do so at anytime.
4:20 - 4:30 - Share insights from your book if you wish or ask others about theirs… maybe bring up a different book based on what someone is reading.

You can bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated.

This event is usually waitlisted so kindly update your RSVP promptly once you are no longer sure you will attend.

Happy Reading!
