No need to RSVP - we’re excited to see you if you can make it!

Do you enjoy reading books but don't want to join a book club because you don't want the assigned reading commitment? If you can relate, then the Silent Book South Naperville Chapter is for you!

With our book club, you can read any book you want! That's right, it's bring your own book (BYOB).

We'll meet at a local library, park, brewery or cafe. We will socialize for the first thirty minutes. We read silently for one hour. The last thirty minutes come together to chit chat or keep reading. It's up to you.

We wrap up knowing we finally set aside time to read our to be read book(s). A suggestion jar will be available for location suggestions and book recommendations.
