Join us for a relaxing morning of reading at the refuge! Bring your current read (or buy a new book in our gift shop!) and enjoy the serene sights and sounds of our beautiful 171 acres of preserved land. We’ll spend the first half hour mingling and discussing the books we each brought to read, before spending an hour reading independently. Bring your own lawn chair or sit on one of our many benches in our lake pavilion, overlooking stunning Cedar Run Lake.
A unique, collectible bookmark featuring a Cedar Run resident will be available in exchange for any donation.
What is a Silent Book Club?
A Silent Book Club is a more accessible take on a classic book club. There’s no expectations, no deadlines, no one specific book everyone has to read, and (almost) no talking! It takes all the pressure off of the classic book club experience. Silent Book Clubs are simply gatherings where book lovers can connect over their mutual love of reading and enjoy each others company while silently reading the book of their choice independently. If you’ve longed to connect with other book lovers, but the typical book club structure is too intimidating, the Silent Book Club might just be right for you!
Need a book recommendation? Try The Life of Birds by David Attenborough!
Book Description: BIRDS. 11,000 species, the most widespread of all animals: on icebergs, in the Sahara or under the sea, at home in our gardens or flying for over a year at a time. Earthbound, we can only look and listen, enjoying their lightness, freedom and richness of plumage and song.
David Attenborough has been watching and learning all his life. His classic book, now fully updated with the latest discoveries in ornithology, is a brilliant introduction to bird behaviors around the world: what they do and why they do it. He looks at each step in birds’ lives and the problems they have to solve: learning to fly; finding food; communicating; mating and caring for nests, eggs and young; migrating; facing dangers and surviving harsh conditions.
Sir David has no equal in helping others to learn and making it exciting. His curiosity and enjoyment are infectious. He shows the lifelong pleasure that birds around us offer, and how much we miss if unaware of them.
You can purchase The Life of Birds, as well as other great reads in our gift shop before the book club meeting.
Program included with the price of admission. No pre-registration needed. Be sure to check in at our Nature Center before meeting up with the club!
