Silent Book Club recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary with a Global Readathon over the weekend of October 10th–12th. It was a joyful worldwide demonstration of readers connecting through community. And our trusted public libraries proved to be perfect hosts.

It has been an incredible ten years of Silent Book Club. As we reflect on our celebratory month, we wanted to pause and take stock of some highlights over the past decade of organizing this community of readers.

Hundreds of chapters are hosting Silent Book Club events the second weekend of October as part of our global Silent Book Club Readathon, presented by Everand.

For our 10 year anniversary celebration, we wanted to simply gather a great reader-related playlist for anytime. It pulls from some of our existing lists but adds more and mixes it up across genres.

Happy 10th anniversary to Silent Book Club, the global community that turned reading alone together into a worldwide phenomenon. What started with two friends in a San Francisco bar is now a global movement with thousands of chapters. Join us as we look back at our growth and milestones over the last decade!

 Getting help from trusted members with the same vision and who understand the goals of Silent Book Club really goes a long way!

Abingdon Silent Book Club had a fabulous day out on the Thames for its Reading Cruise from Abingdon to Oxford, followed by drinks and nibbles at The Head of the River Pub!

Our latest playlist highlights and celebrates libraries, books, readers, and at least a little bit, librarians. Tune in, drop in to your local library, and support these historic institutions of literacy and learning. 

We have gathered resources to support the people impacted by the storm, and encourage any who can give to donate where we've been told is most helpful from locals.
