SUMMARY:Silent Book Club at Oldham Library
DESCRIPTION:What is Silent Book Club?  \n\n\n\nWe meet fortnightly\, downstairs at Oldham Library\, from 17:30 – 18:30. (There will be signs around the event.) 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.

It’s where families have laughed together\, sung together and discovered that we make big theatre in a little venue. \nWhether you’re visiting Neverland for the first time or returning to a favourite story\, join us as we celebrate ten years of Christmas magic with a heartwarming\, hilarious and unforgettable adventure for the whole family. \nSuitable for ages 4+\nPlease note: Saturday 12th December 2pm\, will be a relaxed and BSL interpreted performance.
