Logan, Iowa, USA (Logan Public Library)

Teen Slient Book Club

Area students in grades 7th through 12th have a new way to support their caffeine needs & shrink their "TBR" list through the Logan Public Library's new partnership with Grey Gelding Coffee Co.

Students can read independently with no set book list to complete & books can be in any format. Each month we will host a Silent Book Club meeting. Club members will be able to talk about the books they've been reading for the first 15 to 20 minutes of the meeting, followed by 40 minutes of silent reading time.

Students will earn points for every book they finish & every event they attend. Four points will earn a certificate for a free medium drink from Grey Gelding.

Check our website for more information.

Calling all 'Booktroverts'...remember silent reading time as a kid? How come they don't have that for grownups?
They do! Meet us at the Nook, once a month. Share a book you just finished, one you're currently reading, or one you're about to start. Find new book buds that love the same genres. Find some book recommendations outside your usual genre.
Then, after just the perfect amount of socializing...shhh! It's time to read.
