Oakland, CA
Welcome to Silent Book Club's Oakland chapter! We have several meetup options for East Bay readers, and a local Facebook group to connect online.
First Tuesday of the month - Slainte Pub (131 Broadway, Oakland)
We'll kick off introvert happy hour at 7pm with some light chatter and informal book recommendations before settling in to read quietly, but if you'd rather just pull up a chair and read, by all means do so. No one will be shushed or shamed. The bar will be open for happy hour. Seats for up to 30 people have been reserved in the Oscar Wilde room. This is the room that you first walk into when you enter the bar. The book club is scheduled to meet the first Tuesday evening of each month 7pm-9pm.
First Saturday of the month - The New Parkway Theater (474 24th St, Oakland)
We are happy to have found a new home at The New Parkway Theater! Meetings will be on the first Saturday of every month from 4 to 6 p.m. Grab some food and drinks from the theater cafe and head upstairs to the mezzanine. The first meeting is in April - 4/4 at 4pm!
Second Saturday of the month - Temescal Library (5205 Telegraph Ave, Oakland)
Not a drinker? The Temescal Library is hosting their own Silent Book Club on the second Saturday mornings of each month 10:30am-12:30pm. They will have free coffee and can accommodate up to 80 people. They will host the second Saturday morning of each month 10:30am-12:30pm.
