What we’re about

Do you enjoy reading books but don't want to join a book club because you don't want the assigned reading commitment? If you can relate, then the Silent Book Club-Cedar Park Chapter is for you!

With our book club, you can read any book you want! That's right, it's bring your own book. Just reflect on those silent reading days in school, but now you live for the days when you can read quietly with a group of people who live for the joy of reading.

We'll meet at a local restaurant and you order your drinks, food, and socialize for the first thirty minutes.

We read silently for one hour.

We socialize for the last thirty minutes.

We go home knowing we ate, met great people, and finally set aside time to read our to be read book(s).
