What is a Silent Book Club? We like to call it our Introvert Happy Hour. It’s a BYOB – Bring Your Own Book – event where you can meet others, read your favorite book, and sip a free mocktail.
We have been an official Silent Book Club chapter since 2023, part of an international membership of over 1,000 Silent Book Clubs all over the world that celebrate getting together to read.
All ages welcome.

Join Janet Byron and Bob Johnson, co-authors of the best-selling Berkeley Walks, for a walk in the Elmwood District. While the area is highly regarded for its tree-lined streets and fine architecture, few know about the many famous (and infamous) people who lived here. Come with us on the level 1.5-mile jaunt to learn more. Afterward signed copies of Berkeley Walks will be available for purchase so you can explore more of Berkeley’s secrets.
Join us for a special author event with memoirist Catherine Harrington in conversation with parental custody advocate and lawyer, Sarita Camille Waite. Harrington's marriage, so typical of the time, was one of power imbalance, people pleasing, and safety. A bitter divorce and vitriolic custody battle ultimately forced her to reclaim personal power. Now in her 80's, Harrington understands the whole picture and her own journey from a place of enmity to strength. Visit #thelongestwar to learn more about her work.
Join us for the first meeting of our brand new Mystery Book Club! July's title is First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston.
“This fast-paced read has everything you could want in a thriller: secret identities, a mysterious boss and a cat & mouse game that kept me guessing the whole way through.”—Reese Witherspoon
We have a limited supply of free copies of this title for book club attendees. Please stop by West Branch Library to register for the book club and pick up a copy!
