📚 Join us for a tranquil literary escape at our newest program, the Silent Book Club! Held on the first Thursdays of each month from 6:30 to 8:00 pm, immerse yourself in an evening of peaceful reading and companionship. Indulge in complimentary snacks and drinks or bring a treat to share, as we gather on the library's lower level. Engage in light conversation about recent reads during the first 30 minutes, then relish an uninterrupted hour of quiet reading. Open to adults and teens ages 16+, discover the joy of silent immersion in the world of books with us.

Check out our website for more information about upcoming meetups.

The Shelter Island Library is happy to host a Silent Book Club. We meet monthly at 5pm on a Thursday evening at the Rams Head Inn. No need to have a library card, all are welcome! Sit and read in the comfortable chairs provided by the Rams Head. We start the evening at 5pm with a welcome and then read companionably for an hour. If you need refreshments, they may be ordered from the bar but no purchase is necessary. At the end of the hour, stay to chat or head home to continue your book!
