Bring whatever you're reading these days to enjoy and share.
Pull up a section of couch for Santa Barbara's Silent Book Club and order up a snack.

Chat about the books we brought, before and after a bit of reading.

This is the Silicon Valley chapter of the international Silent Book Club.

We welcome all types! Everyone brings their own book.

Meet ups will consist of approx. 15 minutes of socializing and then one hour of silent reading. Afterwards we will have another 15 min or longer of socializing. RSVP to the next event here! 

Our Silent Book Club chapter is an official program at Huntington Beach Public Library.

We encourage self-defined introverts to join us for silent reading sessions lasting 20 minutes with breaks to chat, snack, and socialize. We meet the last Fridays of every month.

Welcome to Silent Book Club's Oakland chapter! We have several meetup options for East Bay readers, and a local Facebook group to connect online.

First Tuesday of the month - Slainte Pub (131 Broadway, Oakland)

We'll kick off introvert happy hour at 7pm with some light chatter and informal book recommendations before settling in to read quietly, but if you'd rather just pull up a chair and read, by all means do so. No one will be shushed or shamed. The bar will be open for happy hour. Seats for up to 30 people have been reserved in the Oscar Wilde room. This is the room that you first walk into when you enter the bar. The book club is scheduled to meet the first Tuesday evening of each month 7pm-9pm.

Attendees are now invited to bring a maximum of two books they're ready to let go. Participants can take a new book home with them, or not! At the end of the evening, all leftovers are taken to a local public library to be donated.

Who said reading can't be a social activity? 🤔

Join our book club where you can you read whatever you want, at your own pace, and share only if you feel like it.

A fantastic experience for avid-readers or anyone who just wants a group to read with.

Silent book club - North County and Carlsbad

No assigned readings, no pressure to finish a book on time or read a book you have no time or inclination to read anyway.

This group is for those who just want to relax and read in the company of other bookish folk. While silence is the main game during the allotted hour, for those so inclined to do so there will be time made to share what you are reading, and discuss all things literary or just get to know one another.

Other activities added to a meet may include a book swap or other literary events. Please feel free to recommend a favorite park, coffee shop, or other favorite reading spot!
