Friday, June 26, 11:30-12:30 p.m., Silent Book Club
Join us on the fourth Friday of the month for the Silent Book Club, a no-assigned-reading gathering. This welcoming space offers a relaxed way to socialize and build community, without the pressure of structured discussion or the need to finish the book. Bring whatever you’re currently reading—fiction or nonfiction, print, ebook, or audiobook. We’ll begin by book sharing where we casually share what book you are enjoying. You may even discover your next great read, so consider bringing a notebook to jot down recommendations. Afterwards, you can continue with casual conversations about the books you are reading or you can find a cozy nook to continue silently reading your book.
Light refreshments will be provided. To register, call 802-424-6345.
