I created this group after moving away from home for the first time and was in need of a community. A conversation with my husband about potentially starting my own thing sparked something and it has grown into something wonderful. 

Kettering Silent Book Club has fostered friendships, community, kindness, and allowed me to find a place in a new environment. I hope everyone that joins us feels welcomed, supported, and valued. This was a dream that became a possibility simply by taking the jump. If you need friends that feel like family, laughter to fill your soul, and a place you belong I’d love for you to join us! 

Read that book you’ve been putting off by joining the Silent Book Club. We will have a quiet space setup at the New Boston Library for anyone interested in bringing in your own book, or checking one out from the library to read.

This group will plan to meet the second Monday of every month for one hour, but the date might change due to holidays or library closures. 

Adults only, and socialization is optional.

For more information please call 740-456-4412. Find our schedule and next meeting here. 

This chapter is a spinoff of the Columbus Silent Book Club Chapter, specifically organized to serve the West Columbus area. The goal of this group is to be a low pressure, judgement free space where we can gather, read, and enjoy each other's company.

Welcome to the Wayne College Library chapter of the Silent Book Club, where bookish introverts unite! Think of it as the perfect excuse to escape the chaos of daily life and dive into the comforting embrace of a good book. Whether you're a student, faculty member, staff, or part of our local community, you're invited to join our merry band of readers.

We kick things off by catching up and sharing our latest literary finds—because let's be honest, we all love a good book recommendation. After we've had our fill of bookish banter, we settle into what we're really here for: one glorious hour of uninterrupted, blissful reading. No distractions, no small talk, just you and your book.

So, bring your favorite novel, cozy up in a corner, and let's get lost in the pages together. The Wayne College Library Silent Book Club isn’t just a club; it’s a retreat for your soul, a delightful escape where the only sound is the turning of pages and maybe the occasional muffled chuckle at a funny passage.

Visit the library events page for info about upcoming meetups.

Our Silent chapter services those book lovers in the Olmsted Falls and surrounding areas to the west of Cleveland who have a harder time traveling into the city for a meet up.
