Bloomfield, IN
This is not your normal book club! It’s a chill club for book-loving introverts!

Meet at the Feed Store with a snack, your current read, and grab a drink at the bar if you wish. There is a short social time to catch up on what everyone is reading or prepare your space. At 3:30, the room goes silent, you read the book of your choice in whatever format you choose for as long as you’d like. With the final 30 minutes, use this opportunity to discuss your book title or give recommendations to others. There are no formalities, no assigned reading, just an opportunity to get out and enjoy reading with other likeminded people!

We will meet in the back room on the 3rd Saturday of the month. Hope to see you there!

Once a week come hang out in the bar at Pizzera Unos in Laporte.

Between 6 and 6:30pm, order food and drinks and from 6:30 to 7:30 we will have an hour of silence for people to read their books, followed by an optional 30 mins of group conversations about what we are reading etc.

It's a great time if you want to hang out socially but don't have the battery to do so! All ages event (New Indiana ATF Law allows persons under the age of 21 in the bar accompanied by a person of 21 or older, but under 21 is not allowed at the bartop)

Looking to find a community of fellow readers, but intimidated by traditional book clubs? Put down your phone, pick up a book, and spend quality time with fellow book lovers – no homework or chit chat required!

Bring the book (and hot beverage) of your choice to the library for a quiet hour of reading in peace. (You can also choose a book from the library shelves!) We’ll have cozy blankets and comfortable seating for all attendees. Colored lanyards will be available for participants to wear, to help indicate who is down for some book chit chat and who is not. (Red lanyards = Please let me read in silence; Green lanyards = Let’s talk a little bit about what we’re reading.)

Known as the introvert’s happy hour, NMPL’s Silent Book Club is the perfect place to retreat with your book for a designated hour of reading. This is the perfect activity for those whose social battery is low, but who still want company. Readers and introverts unite!

There's no assigned reading. Reviews are optional. Company and conversation are both optional.

SBC is about treating yourself. Reading in companionable silence with a friend. Interlacing gossip with recommended authors. And never worrying if you haven't finished the book.

Silent Book Club meets at 9:30 am at Fables Book on the 1st Saturday of the month. Bring a book. Coffee is provided. We'll gather for about 30 minutes to introduce each other and (if you choose) to tell everyone what you're currently reading. Then we invite you to find a seat and enjoy reading knowing you're not alone in that enjoyment. Find our next meetup here.
