Introducing the Silent Book Club in Hilversum!

Are you a book lover who enjoys reading in peace, but also craves a sense of community? Inspired by the global movement of silent reading groups, this unique club offers a cozy space where people can gather, read together in silence, and then share thoughts afterward—without the pressure of book reports or formal discussions.

How it Works: 1. Bring a Book (or E-Reader): Whatever you're currently reading, whether it's fiction, non-fiction, or poetry—just bring it along! 2. Read in Silence: Enjoy some quiet time as you immerse yourself in your book. No need to talk, no small talk, just reading. 3. Chat Afterwards (Optional): Once the reading time is over, if you’d like, you can share what you're reading, recommend books, or simply chat about anything book-related. It's a perfect way to meet fellow book lovers, discover new reads, and take some time for yourself amidst a busy schedule.

Bristol’s Silent Book Club is a great chance to chat and read with like-minded bookworms, and EVERYONE is welcome!

All you need to do is bring yourself and whatever book that you’re currently reading - all books are welcome, including e-readers and audiobooks (just make sure you bring headphones!)

During the in-person meets, there’s plenty of time to chat, or read quietly, exchange book recommendations, drink copious amounts of tea and coffee, eat delicious cake, and most of all, read!

A trend straight from New York is coming to the Central Library. We are the second in Poland to launch SILENT BOOK CLUB. In the conference and exhibition room, we will create a space friendly to introverts and not only, where we will devote ourselves together to our greatest passion: silent reading. Everyone is welcome, both lovers of romance and crime novels. Take what you are currently reading with you or borrow something on site, sit comfortably in an armchair and devote yourself to reading.

Free admission tickets are required in the form of a bookmark , available for collection at the adult rental desk.

Trend rodem z Nowego Jorku trafia do Biblioteki Centralnej. Jako drudzy w Polsce ruszamy z SILENT BOOK CLUB. W sali konferencyjno-wystawowej stworzymy przestrzeń przyjazną dla introwertyków i nie tylko, gdzie wspólnie oddamy się naszej największej pasji: cichemu czytaniu. Każdy jest mile widziany, zarówno miłośnik romansów, jak i kryminałów. Zabierz ze sobą to, co aktualnie czytasz lub wypożycz coś na miejscu, usiądź wygodnie w fotelu i oddaj się lekturze.

Obowiązują darmowe wejściówki w formie zakładki, do odbioru w wypożyczalni dla dorosłych.

Munich Silent Book Club: This group is inspired by the Silent Book Club Group in Berlin, and we'd love to start here in Munich as well. The idea is to create a space where introverted book lovers, or anyone with a few spare hours and a desire to gather, can come together to read over coffee or tea on the weekends.

All nationalities, languages and ages are welcome!

Policy: Bring your own books! (Or feel free to join us even if you just want to jot down important events from your week in a journal). The event is planned for 1.5 hours on Saturday mornings at 11:00 a.m. We’ll begin with brief introductions and answer a prompt so we can get to know our fellow introverts and bookworms. After that, it’s quiet reading time—no need to interact or discuss your book. Since everyone will be reading their own material, there won’t be a group discussion, but you’re welcome to chat and share thoughts afterward if you’d like!

The event is free of charge.
