The Lawrence Public Library is proud to host monthly Silent Book Club meetings. Please come and enjoy the comradery of silence. Once the timer starts you are welcome to read for the hour (or listen with headphones) to anything you like. All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks (with headphones), magazines, textbooks, comic books... it's BYOBook.

Una vez que comience el cronómetro, podrás leer durante la hora (o escuchar con auriculares) lo que quieras.

Fairhaven, Massachusetts, USA

Welcome to our local chapter of Silent Book Club, where there are no assigned readings, no pressure to finish a book on time, and BYOB (Bring Your Own Book). It’s The Introvert’s Happy Hour!

This group is for those who just want to relax and read along with other bookish people. While silence is the main game during the allotted hour, for those so inclined, there will be optional time to share what you are reading, and discuss literary things or just to get to know one another.

Join us on Facebook to find out more about our upcoming meetups.

Have you ever wanted to join a book club without actually having to read a specific book or, you know, talk to people?  Silent Book Club may be for you.  GPL is starting a monthly program, where you can come, socialize (or not) for 45 minutes in our Maker Space, then go anywhere you want in the library and simply read.  You can read in groups, in couples, or gloriously alone.  It is totally up to you.

What kind of books can you read?  Whatever kind you want.  There's no judgment here, just reading. We'll see you here!

Check our Events page for more information and upcoming meetups.
