FREE COMMUNITY EVENT

Join us for our second annual Silent Book Club Matthews: Booksgiving on Wednesday, November 18, at the Matthews Woman's Club! We're looking forward to celebrating the season of gratitude with an evening of cozy reading, meaningful connections, and the wonderful community we've built together.

In the spirit of togetherness, we invite everyone to bring something small to share, a favorite treat, snack, or cozy drink, though there's no pressure to do so. Just bring your current read and enjoy the evening!

We'll also be giving back to our community by collecting food pantry donations for the Matthews HELP Center. If you're able, please consider bringing an item to support our neighbors in need this holiday season.

We're grateful for this community of book lovers and can't wait to celebrate Booksgiving with you! 🧡

How Silent Book Club Works

Silent Book Club is called that because it is an opportunity to enjoy quietly reading a book in a location different from your home, where no discussion is required. Some of the locations we visit might have background noise and conversations, but you do not have to participate in any conversations during your time with us.

Silent Book Club is BYOBook, so you can show up with any book (physical or digital). There are no assigned readings or discussions, just uninterrupted time to immerse ourselves in the pages of our favorite books.

• 6:00-6:30 PM: Arrival, enjoy refreshments, find a cozy place to read

Feel free to come and go as you please, staying for as little or as long as you like.
