[Michlib-l] Silent Book Clubs

[Yolanda Rico]

I have a Silent Book Club. We meet the 4th Saturday of the month at 3:30 at a local coffee shop. 1 hour of silent reading and then optional discussion at 4:30.  People who don’t want to stay for the discussion usually get up and leave before it starts.  Sometimes we talk about what we’re reading, sometimes we just chat about anything.  I have regulars, some months I get 20 people, some months I get 3-5. I am currently looking into ours becoming a chapter of the official Silent Book Club organization.

Hello,

I am considering starting a Silent Book Club. I was wondering if any of you had any experience with this? I would specifically like to know if you chose to do it in your library or with a partner organization. If you have any other feedback or thoughts about the program, I would be happy to hear them.

Thank you!
Kathryn
