Have you seen someone at a bar with a book and thought, "Huh, I couldn't never do that! But I wish I could."

Well imagine a whole group of people doing that alone, but together. That's where we come in.

At Silent Book Club Newport we seek to build community over books, and create a welcome space for everyone.

Pawtucket Silent Book Club is here🤫

Join Book Around for a cozy evening of reading and relaxation at our Silent Book Club! This is the perfect time to finish up your current read or start a new one (or maybe get ahead on your book club book😏)

Here’s how it works:
📚 Bring your own book (or pick one to purchase from our shelves!)
☕ Grab a drink or snack and settle into a comfy spot
🕰️ Enjoy an hour of quiet, uninterrupted reading in the company of fellow book lovers.
🎉 Stick around afterward to chat about what you’re reading—or not! No pressure to share unless you want to.

Silent Book Club is perfect for introverts, busy readers, or anyone looking to carve out dedicated reading time. Come solo or bring a friend; all are welcome!


This will be a very informal gathering, so Book Around is just asking for a small contribution of your choice from each reader to help cover the snacks and beverages.

Let’s make reading social (without the small talk). See you there! Find our upcoming meetings here! 

We are a SBC for Eastern RI inviting every and all readers no matter what age! Our meetings will take place in the Aquidneck Island and Bristol RI area. We will meet once a month at a different location so people can check out new places.

Join us for Silent Book Club at Symposium Books, a small, independent bookstore nestled in the heart of Downtown Providence. Small, warm, community feel. We have a wide array of drinks and European treats to try while enjoying our seating area and perusing our many subjects of books!

Bring whichever book you're currently reading and join us at the Westerly Library for our monthly Silent Book Club! We love to see what everyone else is reading. We usually chat for about 15 minutes before we set a timer for an hour of reading. Afterwards, we like to share our thoughts about our books with the group!

Our club meets on the last Wednesday of the month from 5:30-7:00 in the old reading room, directly to the left of the library's main entrance. You can find updates on the library's website or you can follow us on Instagram! We can't wait to see you there.
