Our Silent Book Club is open to all adults who are interested in meeting up with other book and library enthusiasts. It is a quiet time to put your phone away and unplug from everything. Enjoy a coffee or tea and a cozy space to relax and read. Afterwords, we can chat about what we are reading and give book recommendations. The intention is to create a quiet and mindful space for reading and hitting pause by turning pages.

We invite you to join the first edition of our Silent Book Club in French. It’s a wonderful opportunity to dive into a good book while enjoying a peaceful atmosphere with fellow reading enthusiasts.

How It Works:
1 - Bring a book or pick one on our shelves.
2 - Settle into a cozy spot for 60 minutes of quiet reading.
3 - Afterward, we’ll spend 30 minutes chatting about our reading experiences.

This Book Club is free and open to everyone. Visit the French Library events page for more information about our meetups.

Join us for a relaxing evening at our Silent Book Club, held from 5:45 to 7:45 every second Monday of the month. Whether you’re an avid reader or just getting started, our club offers a welcoming space for everyone. Bring your favorite book, settle in, and enjoy some quiet reading time in the company of fellow book lovers. It’s the perfect opportunity to unwind, immerse yourself in a good story, and take a break from the fast pace of daily life.

Our goal is to build a community where people feel comfortable connecting through a shared love of reading. There’s no pressure to talk or participate in discussions—just a chance to slow down and enjoy a few peaceful hours. Whether you come to discover new books or to carve out some personal time, we’re here to help you make reading a part of your routine in a supportive and relaxing environment.

From 8:00-9:00pm we have some spoiler free discussion on what you just read and encourage guests to give a book recommendation to the group. The store is also open for late night shopping and many readers stay until 10:00pm to hang out after book club is over. Cheese pizza is included and the book club is BYOB.

Introducing Silent Book Club, a different kind of book club!

Please note, fall hours have started. Open social time (aka optional grab your coffee, snack, talk to a friend you brought or met) 7:00-7:30pm.. Silent Reading book club time 7:30-8:30pm. Reading locations in the Reading Room, Cafe, & Newspaper corner.

Do you miss silent reading time, like when we were kids? Silent Book Club is exactly that- a traditional-styled book club that’s low-pressure, social-optional, and no homework. You read what you want. It’s a book club for those with an already busy calendar or already full TBR that just need planned time to sit & read!

There’s no assigned book. You can bring something you’re already in the middle of, or grab something from the shelves that you’ve been meaning time get to. Like it enough to check it out? Just bring your library card, but you don’t need a card to read while you’re here.

More information on our library events page.
