Traverse City, MI

Hello, Traverse City book lovers! SBC isn’t your average book club. There are no assigned readings or discussion guides. You bring a book, any book—or, if you're at the library, you can check one out upon arrival.

Traverse City has not one but TWO chapters: AM and PM. Whether you're an early bird, a night owl, or a round-the-clock reader, we have a meetup for you. Click on the links below to find upcoming meeting details.

Traverse City AM meets on the 3rd Tuesday morning of each month in the cozy Fireplace Room of the Northwestern Michigan College Library. Each gathering starts with brief introductions and announcements. Then, some attendees chose to share with us the title they are reading. Next, we just chill out in each other's company reading quietly. After, an hour of reading, we adjourn. Some of us grab lunch in NMC's Hawk Owl Cafe or go to a nearby restaurant. NMC parking is free with temporary permit.

Traverse City PM meets on the second Tuesday of each month for silent reading, local brews, and new friends. We'll spend the first hour reading and the (optional) second hour socializing. We hope you can join us!
