Platteville, Wisconsin | Platteville Public Library Silent Book Club

Do you enjoy reading books but don't want to join one of our other book clubs because you don't want the assigned reading commitment? Do you long for the days when your elementary school teacher gave you assigned quiet reading time?

At the Platteville Public Library Silent Book Club, all readers are welcome. It's BYOB- bring your own book! E-readers, audiobooks (with headphones), textbooks, graphic novels and traditional books are all welcome at our events.

We'll meet at the library and you can help yourself to some refreshments and get nice and comfy for the first ten minutes.

We read silently for one hour.

We socialize for the last twenty minutes.

We go home knowing we ate, met great people, and finally set aside time to read our to be read book(s).
