Adults 18+. Love the books but hate the assigned reading and thinking of what the tree might symbolize? BYOB(ook) and come to the Silent Book Club! We'll spend the first 15 minutes-ish in an entirely participation-optional chat about what books we're currently reading, what we're excited about, and other random book-related things. From then on, it's pure, sweet, uninterrupted silent reading until whenever you want to leave or 7:30—whichever comes first!
We'll have tea, themed book displays to browse from, recommendation lists, and snacks! This club is all about indulging your reading nerd side.
