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.
