FREE COMMUNITY EVENT
We're thrilled to announce that this month's Silent Book Club gathering will be held at the Matthews Library! This will be our first time meeting at this beloved local gem.
We're delighted to welcome local author Leslie Hooton to this month's SBC Matthews!
Leslie Hooton is many things: a three time published author, a fabulous friend, a powerful speaker, a flower enthusiast, a lover of language, a seeker of color in a black-and-white world.
How Silent Book Club Works:
Silent Book Club is called that because it is an opportunity to enjoy quietly reading a book in a location different from your home, where no discussion is required. Some of the locations we visit might have background noise and conversations, but you do not have to participate in any conversations during your time with us.
Silent Book Club is BYOBook so you can show up with any book (physical or digital). There are no assigned readings or discussions, just uninterrupted time to immerse ourselves in the pages of our favorite books.
Event Schedule:
📖 6:00-6:30 PM: Arrival, meet the author, find a place to read
📖 6:30-7:30 PM: Quiet reading hour
📖 7:30-8:00 PM: Continue reading, talk with others, author Q&A
Feel free to come and go as you please, staying for as little or as long as you like.
