All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books... it's BYOBook. Following an hour of silent reading, there will be an opportunity to socialize and discuss your books in a welcoming environment.

The Good Hope Silent Book Club meets on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month, from 5:30 to 7:00 P.M.
