Welcome to Silent Book Club of West Essex!

If you're in the West Essex area and looking for a new book club to join, you're in the right place!

Silent Book Club is set up for members to read (or listen to) their book of choosing silently for an hour. Gone are the days of voting on which book to read next, sitting through novels that don't have interest to you, or awkwardly talking about a book you may or may not have completed.

SBC West Essex currently meets on the first Monday of every month and is open to any and all readers. There are no assigned reading!

We meet at 7pm and chat with other readers until 7:30pm then from 7:30-8:45 we have a silent reading time. From 8:45-9pm is an optional element of our group that allows members to discuss their literary interest or free to leave when done.
This group is free but will support local businesses!

Welcome to the Hoboken chapter for Silent Book Club (SBC). Born from a love of reading and community, we're bringing this worldwide movement to our mile-square city.

What makes Silent Book Club different?

Unlike traditional book clubs, Silent Book Club puts the joy of reading first. No assigned books, no discussion requirements, no homework - just the pleasure of reading alongside fellow book lovers.

The concept behind Hoboken SBC is refreshingly simple:

• Bring whatever you're reading (any format!) 📚📱🎧

• Enjoy quiet reading time in the company of others

• Chat with other readers if you want

• Support local businesses

Join us at Burlington County Library for an hour of peaceful, quiet reading! No membership or required reading for this club - all are welcome to bring whatever you are currently reading or check out a book from our collection! For the first 15 minutes as everyone arrives, we will find a seat, get comfortable, and chat about what we are reading, before our organizer starts our one hour timer. When the timer is up, you are free to keep reading or chat with other attendees!

Visit our library events page for details about upcoming meetups and locations.
