Silent Book Club is about community. Everyone is welcome, and anyone is invited to join. Agenda for Meetings
1:00 - 1:30 pm - Gather in the front parking lot on Coal Bank Road. Say, "Hello." Share the audiobook you are reading.
1:30 - 2:30 pm - Silent reading and walking hour. Enjoy the trails at your own pace.
2:30 - 3:00 pm - Return to the parking lot to wrap up. Silent Book Club meets on the third Thursday of the month at Black Partridge Park in Metamora (weather permitting).
