Welcome to the MacombPLD Silent Book Club. Join us in the library to enjoy some dedicated reading time. Silent Book Club is all about enjoying reading without any of the pressure; discussions and socializing are optional. Just bring yourself and whatever you want to read in whatever format you prefer, or come early to browse and let us help you find your next favorite book. If audiobooks are more your thing feel free to bring your device and headphones so you can read that way.

No registration required; this program is for adults only. See our library calendar for dates and times.

Come one, come all to Aquinas Literacy Center’s Silent Book Club in McKinley Park! We love to read and invite you to join us for reading, relaxing, and mingling among other bibliophiles. Bring your own book, whether that be a physical book, eBook, or audiobook, and spend 60 minutes reading in uninterrupted silence.

Events are free to attend and will be held once a month. The first 30 minutes will be social time (no requirement to socialize!), where you can mingle or make a cup of tea, then followed by an hour of reading. Tea, water, and coffee will be available for your enjoyment.

Please follow our Facebook page to stay up to date with our meeting plans! We look forward to reading with you!
