Barrington, IL, USA

📚Welcome to the Barrington, IL Chapter for The Silent Book Club📚
📕A Book Club Without the Pressure
📗 No Assigned Reading (Your Book + Your Pace)
📘 Meet at & Support Local Businesses
📙Socializing Not Required

Our goal is to create a community for book lovers and readers who want to pick their own books and read at their own pace while still sharing the experience with like minded friends!

That’s the beauty about SBC! There is no assigned reading or deadlines. Simply bring you and your reading of choice to a scheduled event, grab a drink or treat (location permitting), and get lost in your reading for an hour or so. There will be an opportunity to chat and share with others at the end, but that is never required.
Meeting locations will vary, be sure to check the details for each scheduled meeting. If you have any location suggestions, please let us know.

We look forward to reading with you soon 🤍📚

Chicago, IL (Dorothy Downstairs)
For the Chicago queers who bring a book to read at the bar! We'll be meeting the 2nd Sunday of every month at Dorothy Downstairs at 6pm. During Silent Book Club hour, Dorothy will be playing instrumental music at a slightly lower volume than normal and will keep the lights at a key higher than usual, simply transitioning out after the hour is complete.

At 7pm on Silent Book Club nights, find our Curator, Charlie, at the bar or head to the bed lounge for an optional social moment about books, reading and all things queer. Or, just keep reading!
