- **Event Name**: Silent Book Club
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for another session of our popular Silent Book Club on Friday, February 20th!

Bring your book (or ebook or audiobook w/earbuds) and read quietly for an hour. Or grab a book from our wonderful astronomy library! No pressure, no book assignments, no book report…an stress-free opportunity to read on a beautiful evening. We will have coffee, water, and cookies on hand, but feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks.

After our silent reading time and optional discussion, our staff will take you on a tour of the facility and once dark, observe beautiful objects in the night sky through our various telescopes. Even if the skies are cloudy, you can enjoy our exhibits and astronomy videos in the Multipurpose Center. Dress warm for the outside observing.

6:30 – 7:00 pm – Gather, chat, grab a pastry, pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea (we’re ok with BYOB too!)
7:00 – 8:00 pm – Quiet reading of your choice
8:00 – 8:30 pm – Discuss (or not) as the spirit moves you
8:30 – 10:00 pm – Enjoy a tour of the observatory, and weather permitting, view night sky objects with our collection of telescopes

There is no cost for this event. Donations to the observatory are encouraged and appreciated.

Please note, our Silent Book Club events can only offer limited observing opportunities. Join us for our public “Star Party” events for more opportunities through additional telescopes.
