Program Description

Program Description

By popular demand, the Library is offering another silent reading party, aka "happy hour for introverts!" It's like a book club, but without the assigned reading or forced discussion. This event will take place at a special offsite event space. You will receive the exact location by email upon registration. Here's how it works:

  1. Bring a book, any book — we don't all need to be reading the same one. (The Library will supply a selection of books too, in case you need an extra.)
  2. Enjoy beverages and snacks courtesy of the Library.
  3. Optional socializing before the silent reading starts — chat about what you're reading, if you like.
  4. Grab a comfy seat and read silently in the company of other readers.
  5. More optional socializing to conclude the night.

Registration required. Brought to you in partnership with River Forest Township.
