Do you love the idea of a book club, but prefer to read at your own pace? Then why not join us and our Silent Book Club at Y Siop Fach Sero (The Old Library) for a dedicated weekly reading session. Meet at our cosy community space for a peaceful gathering where you can bring any book, settle in, and enjoy reading in quiet company. The coffee shop sells drinks, cakes and snacks — but no obligation to purchase anything.

There are no assigned texts, no pressure of deadlines, just one hour to focus on your own reading without interruptions. Our meetups start with a relaxed 30 minutes to arrive and order drinks, followed by an hour of silent reading. For the final 30 minutes, you are welcome to chat, discuss, or share book recommendations, or just keep reading! Carve out the time for yourself to unwind and rediscover the joy of getting lost in a good book! Find more information and our upcoming meetings here.

Join us for a relaxing morning at the brand new Canterbury Library chapter of Silent Book Club. There’s no assigned reading—just bring whatever book you’re currently enjoying, or start something new. It’s a chance to carve out a quiet space in your weekend to immerse yourself in your book, without any pressure or expectations. Whether you're a fan of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry, all genres are welcome.

Taking advantage of our wonderful venue, we encourage you to explore becoming a library member if you're not already. It’s a great way to access a wide variety of books while supporting local resources. We also promote sustainability by encouraging book swaps—bring a book you’ve finished, and you might just find your next read! By borrowing from the library or swapping books, we aim to reduce our environmental impact and foster a community that values sustainability. Let’s read, share, and grow together—one book at a time!
