Looking for some dedicated time to read, but don't want to be told WHAT to read? Try out this Silent Book Club! You bring what you're reading, whether it's for another book club or the door stopper you've been working through for months, and you read for an hour. There will be snacks and drinks.

Visit our library events page to find out more about our meetups.

Are you an introvert looking for a cozy space to enjoy some quiet company while reading? Join us at the Paducah Silent Book Club, where you can dive into your current read or finally tackle that book that’s been sitting on your TBR list for ages. This club offers a low-pressure, welcoming environment for book lovers who want to socialize without the need for constant conversation. Bring your favorite book, find a comfy spot, and enjoy the presence of fellow readers—all while soaking in the peace and quiet.

Whether you’re on a reading streak or trying to reignite your love for books, this is the perfect space to unwind and escape into another world. No need for small talk or pressure to engage beyond your comfort zone—just show up with a book, sip on your favorite drink, and read. We believe the simple joy of reading together can build connections, spark joy, and offer a refreshing way to spend time with like-minded souls.

Calling all introverts! Do you like the idea of gathering with other folks to read, but aren't so interested in discussion? Bring a book or pick one up here, get cozy, and enjoy some snacks while you read at the library!
