What we’re about
Welcome to the Colorado Springs Silent Book Club!
Silent Book Club is a global community of readers, with more than 1000 chapters in 50 countries around the world. 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. 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!
The typical schedule for a Silent Book Club evening is:
6:00-6:30 PM — People arrive, purchase drinks/food, share what they're reading
6:30-7:30 PM — Quiet reading hour
7:30-8: PM — Optional socializing, head out or just keep reading
Silent Book Club is an open-to-the-public and free event. All you need to bring is yourself and a book.
We look forward to meeting you soon!
