Get Your Books Ready!

OCMH will host Silent Book Club on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.

Free to attend. Registration is encouraged to arrange enough seating.

Unlike your typical book club, Silent Book Club is more about the actual act of reading than the discussion of books. SBC members gather together to read in quiet(ish!) camaraderie. There's no assigned reading or discussion guides—that's the "silent" part—but we do like to share book recommendations and meet like-minded readers! Come for an hour and read without the interruptions. All readers are welcome, including e-readers!

What to expect:

● Bring your current read, a friend, or come alone!

● Grab a good seat and settle in for some silent reading for an hour.

● We’ll announce when the hour is up, and then you have a few options.

○ You can continue reading if you like, or chat with fellow attendees for half an hour about the book you're reading (and hopefully get a great book recommendation and make a new friend!).

○ Or, take off without needing to say a word. We won’t judge!

Since we’ll be reading in a public space, there may be some background buzz and chatter. Feel free to bring ear plugs or noise canceling headphones if that helps you focus! You may also want to bring a reading light.

If you have any questions, email our moderator, Emily, at estegner@oneidacommunity.org.

Silent Book Club is a global community of readers, with more than 2000 chapters in 55+ countries around the world. Members gather in libraries, bookstores, cafes, and other businesses to read in silent camaraderie.
