SUMMARY:Silent Book Club at Oldham Library

Bring your own book and read in companionable quiet. It’s like an Introvert Happy Hour!  \n\n\n\nWhat do I bring?  \n\n\n\nBring your current read\, or choose one when you get here. Bring a friend\, or come by yourself.  \n\n\n\nHow silent will it be?  \n\n\n\nWe’re meeting in public\, so there will be some ambient noise. Feel free to bring headphones\, book lights or ear defenders if you want. We read together quietly with no expectation of talking.  \n\n\n\nDo I have to read?  \n\n\n\nYou can read anything in any format\, or bring along homework\, writing\, art or craft – anything you can work on quietly! Fancy a chat?  \n\n\n\nFeel free to stay afterwards and socialise – but there’s no pressure to do this\, and the club will officially end after an hour of reading.
