Remember the days of Silent Reading in school--the peace and quiet of the classroom as the community of readers became immersed in their own stories...traveling far and wide as each reader's story transported them away from their seats.  If the nostalgia of these sacred reading moments is what you crave, join us for the Books Are Magic Silent Book Club!

The format is as follows: 
First 30 Minutes: Arrive, order drinks/food, share what you're reading with others, settle in
Next Hour: Quiet reading hour
Last 30 Minutes: Optional socializing or just keep reading!

Please add this pause in your busy schedule to your calendar and make time for your TBR, make time for yourself! Find out upcoming meetings and more information about our SBC chapter here.

The Van Wert County, Brumback Silent Book Club is a welcoming and relaxed gathering for book lovers of all kinds! Unlike traditional book clubs, there’s no required reading or assigned books—just bring whatever you’re currently enjoying. We begin each session with light conversation and the option to share your reading picks, then spend quiet time immersed in our individual books. This flexible format is perfect for busy readers who value community and uninterrupted reading time. Join us to connect with fellow book enthusiasts and savor the joy of reading in a supportive and peaceful atmosphere!

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.
