About Silent Book Club:

Silent Book Club is a global community of readers and introverts, with more than 500 chapters in 50 countries around the world led by local volunteers. SBC members gather in public at bars, cafes, bookstores, libraries, and online to read together in quiet camaraderie.

Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the selected book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books, friends, and drinks—without any homework?

At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading. All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books... it's BYOBook. Our events are free and support local businesses. Friends and strangers gather at a set time and location, order food or drinks, share what they're reading, and settle in for an hour of silent, sustained reading. At the end of the hour, attendees can socialize—or not!

Silent Book Club is about community. Everyone is welcome, and all you need is a friend, a comfy public setting, and a book.

Whether you're an extrovert trying to meet your reading goal for the new year or an introvert trying to branch out, we are excited to have you join us! Our chapter was established by Leala Marlin and Natalia Wiater in January of 2024, so we're still trying to get the word out! Please feel free to bring a reading buddy with you - the more the merrier! Be sure to include a total count when registering to ensure we have enough seats for everyone! We meet monthly at local Norwalk establishments which will be announced prior to registration opening!
