Albany, New York (Library)
Silent Book Clubs are popping up nationally and the Pine Hills Branch of Albany Public Library has introduced its own at nearby Uncommon Grounds (University Plaza location - 1225 Western Avenue). Bring a book, purchase a drink or snack (optional), settle in, and enjoy the peace of reading with fellow book lovers.
No assigned readings or pressured discussion. Arrive in the first half hour, read for an hour, and then chat with the attendees or keep on reading.
