Senior Social Hour

Join us for Senior Social Hour!

This drop-in gathering is for seniors and older adults who want to relax, connect, and have fun.  Enjoy puzzles, coloring, games, and good conversation.  We have coffee and a light breakfast each week, along with occasional special guests - prominent community members to answer questions, discuss issues, or provide information about opportunities, services, and resources specifically geared for the 50+ crowd.  Come when you can, stay as long as you like, and enjoy time with friends old and new!

Silent Book Club: Coffeehouse Edition

Looking for a low-key way to connect with fellow readers?  Join us for Silent Book Club.  There’s no assigned reading — bring whatever book you like (ebooks, audiobooks, graphic novels, even textbooks are welcome).  Friends and strangers gather, 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 anyone can join.

Agenda for Meetings
4:00 - 4:30 pm - Grab a drink or a snack and find a seat.  Say "Hello."
4:30 - 5:30 pm - Silent reading hour.  Please step away or outside to chat.
5:30 - 6:00 pm - Share book recommendations or just keep reading!

Silent Book Club meets on the first Thursday of the month at Eli's Coffee Shop in Metamora unless otherwise noted.  Monthly meetings are free to attend, but we ask that you support our host venue by buying a drink or snack when you can.  Bring your book recommendations or books to swap* with other members and share them before you leave.  Noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs are recommended if you are sensitive to light conversation (we do not have exclusive use of Eli's).  

* If you have a book you are willing to share with another reader, please bring it and set it on the community table.  When you are done reading, feel free to browse the community table for books.  If any books you brought have not been claimed by the end of the meeting, please take them with you and bring them again some other time.  Do not leave them at Eli's.  Please do not trade library books.
