Want to carve out time to read but don't want the pressure to finish and discuss a specific book? Want to learn what others are reading and low-key socialize? It sounds to us like you may be a Bookalo.

The Gathering of the Bookalos is an off-site BYOBook Silent Book Club. There is no assigned reading, you just bring whatever book in whatever format you'd like and read it quietly alongside others who are doing the same thing. That's it. It's a time dedicated to quiet reading, learning about what others are reading, and hanging out with folks out in the community.

Yadkinville, North Carolina, USA
Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the assigned book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books, friends, and maybe some coffee—without any homework? At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading. You can come in and take some time to read, especially if it's hard to fit it in during the day at work or at home given how busy we all are. We will also have time to talk about what each other's reading, and in the process, maybe learn about a new book to try!

A library staff member will be leading the program. They will provide book suggestions, help you place book requests, and show you how to use your library card in the Libby app for free eBooks. Find out more here!
