Silent Book Club Athens

Directions Website

Silent Book Club Athens Join us for independent reading in a cozy community setting. Adults of all ages are welcome. BYOBook! and internationally.

The concept of Silent Book Club Athens is simply to bring together book lovers in the Athens, Georgia community. There is no assigned reading, no deadline to finish a book, and no required discussion. Bring your book of choice and enjoy reading in the company of others who appreciate and support reading too. Adults of all ages are welcome, and so are books of all genres and formats - e-readers, iPads, laptops, and audiobooks too! Silent Book Club began in San Francisco in 2012 and has grown to include hundreds of chapters around the U.S. Visit silentbook.club to learn more about our parent organization and its amazing founders. Athens chapter organizers Kathleen and Stacy set up reading meetups at local businesses each month which you can sign up for through our Linktree or directly through Eventbrite. Advance signup is strongly encouraged as our wonderful readers frequently max out the seating available. We welcome feedback, suggestions, and questions anytime via direct message, email, or in person. We can't wait to meet you and see what you're reading!

Over the weekend some of our readers convened to read in slings at Canopy Studio! What a unique experience. Canopy is an aerial arts center and nonprofit space dedicated to enriching community culture through aerial dance, movement education, and performance art. It is a fantastic resource for our community. Have you been to Canopy for a class, program, or performance?

MAHJONG UPDATE! 🀄️
We don’t have quite enough folks signed up to hold the Wednesday class, so we will be merging our class with the public class that Green Ginkgo Mahjong is hosting on Tuesday 10/13 at Tapped Athens. Still at 6pm with a great group!

If you are currently signed up for the Wednesday class, Green Ginkgo will reach out to you directly to confirm that you can attend the new date. Hopefully you can make it!

Fall continues with 4️⃣ dedicated reading hours with Silent Book Club Athens and a Mahjong 🀄️ class! We’ll be at our three monthly reading venues Tapped Athens, Foxglove PlantBar, and The Globe — ⏰ note the new time for Globe. We are also reading at Canopy Studio! Canopy is hosting their own reading hour so things may vary a bit from our usual format. Our Mahjong night is led by Green Ginkgo Mahjong and we are so excited to learn!

⚠️ Space is limited for our events, so please reserve your seat to attend. Mahjong also requires advance payment to secure a seat.

➡️ Swipe for book club details, and visit us on EventBrite to learn more about each regular reading event including times and food options.

We are so glad you can dedicate a little time in your day to read, and we look forward to seeing you. Happy reading 😍
