Do you want to read more but distractions keep you from your book? Kids or spouse talking? Chores calling your name? Just need a little peace and quiet so you can focus? Join us at Silent Book Club McHenry.

There's no assigned reading and no discussion to follow. Just friendly faces who enjoy reading getting together to do just that. It's like Sustained Silent Reading from elementary school, but all grown up.

SBC - McHenry meets monthly at Shop 3430. Participants are welcome to bring their own food and drink (yes, even adult beverages) or order from a local restaurant. Eat, drink and be merry for the first 30 minutes.

Read silently for 1 hour.

Spend the last 30 minutes socializing, finishing that chapter, or shopping. Before participants trickle out we take a photo of all the books that were read during our time together.

Read, meet great people, repeat next month.

Welcome to Silent Book Club Harare, where we honor both the solitary pleasure of reading and the joy of literary community—without the pressure of assigned books or mandatory discussions. Each month, our chapter creates a sanctuary for readers to connect, disconnect, and rediscover the simple pleasure of setting aside time for their personal reading journey in the company of like-minded book lovers.

Our gatherings follow a delightful rhythm: warm socializing as we settle in, a peaceful hour where only the sound of turning pages fills the air, and relaxed conversation to close the evening. Come experience the perfect blend of solitude and connection; all you need is your current read/ something you want to read and an appetite for authentic literary companionship—the SBC Harare chapter is waiting to welcome you into the growing global community of readers.

The Silent Book Club 6300 is unique as after the two 30-minute sessions, one can share their personal take-away from the book they read.
