What is a Book Talk? Similar to a Silent Book Club or Reading Rhythms, everyone brings their own book to read. After introductions, everyone reads their own book for 30 minutes silently (while soft background music plays). After 30 minutes, you can choose a breakout group (let's say by genre) to talk briefly with others about the book that you're reading, or maybe you've read something they are. We'll settle back into quiet reading for another 30 minutes, before being broken into a second breakout group (let's say this time by plot themes) and discuss.
The point of this club is to talk with others about books, carve an hour out for ourselves to read, and prioritize literacy in the community, all with low-pressure stakes. Oh, and to socialize with other people who love books, too.
Come with a book you're reading or have yet to start, or come early and pick one out from our shelves out to read. Everyone is welcome. No registration required. Come late or leave early if needed.
