Marietta, Georgia, USA, (Life U Williams Library)

Are you an introvert* who loves to read? Have you thought about joining a book club, but can't stand the idea of everyone reading the same book and then, horror of horrors, BEING EXPECTED TO DISCUSS that book? What if there were a place and a time where you could bring your own book, get a quick snack, share a space with a few other people doing the same thing, and then, only if you WANT, you can talk about what you're reading and why it's interesting? Well, look no further! Life U Williams Library is starting a Silent Book Club Chapter and we want to create a safe & cozy place for introverts to socialize (quietly, with light refreshments and extremely optional discussion time). Bring your own book and join us at one of the flexible time slots once a month here at Life University Sid E. & Nell K. Williams Library.

*Extroverts and ambiverts welcome, of course, but don't get too rowdy! Librarians are on standby to Shhhh. You've been warned!

Follow us on Instagram or check our events calendar for more information about our meetups.
