Are you tired of reading alone? Do you want to share what you're currently reading with others?

Join the Quiet Readers Society Book Club!

There are no assigned readings—everyone is welcome to bring their own books. Whether you prefer print or eBooks, audiobooks, or comic books, it's all about bringing your favorite or current reads.

We gather at the Forks Library on the fourth Monday of each month to enjoy an hour of quiet uninterrupted reading. After the reading session, you can socialize with fellow attendees—it's totally up to you!
