Meets the 3rd Thursday of each month at 2:00 pm at The Cleveland Bagel Cafe, 436 E. Main St in Kent.

Our new Silent Book Club brings readers together! There's no required reading--just bring a good book and read it in companionable silence while enjoying coffee or a snack.  After 45 minutes of quiet reading, you can stay and socialize, get and share some reading recommendations, or be on your way! Registration is requested, but drop ins are welcome.

The basic schedule:

2:00 - 2:15 pm: Arrival, purchase snacks, and welcome
2:15 - 3:00 pm: Quiet reading
3:00 - 4:00 pm: Optional socializing or more reading (the Cafe closes at 4:00)
