Event Details

Silent Book Club: Nature Edition

Looking for a low-key way to connect with fellow readers while getting your steps in?  Join us for Silent Book Club: Nature Edition!  There’s no assigned reading — bring whatever audiobook you are listening to — and walk alone, in pairs, or small groups.   Silent Book Club is about community.  Everyone is welcome, and anyone can 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).  

About Silent Book Club
