At quiet reading events, readers bring their own books, read for one hour,
and then chat for one hour about books, literature, and arts. <strong>Start
your own independently-operated quiet reading today!</strong>

<span class="event-time">1. Audience</span><br>
If you’re an individual, invite your friends, family, or classmates.
<br>
<br>
If you run an event space, invite your regulars and local community.
<br>
<br>
Quiet reading events generally do not require advance registration.

<span class="event-time">2. Location</span><br>
For example: a park, library discussion room, community garden, apartment, cafe, or bar.
<br>

A quiet environment is nice but silence is not required; readers can bring noise-cancelling headphones if they wish.

<span class="event-time">3. Time</span><br>
Quiet reading can happen at mornings, afternoons, evenings, or nights. Weekly events are perfect for building community.

<span class="event-time">4. Promotion</span><br>
Text, social media, flyers, venue website, local subreddit, and so on.
<br><br>
If you run a public space like a library, park, cafe, or bar, we can help advertise your independent event: contact team@quietreading.org.

<span class="event-time">5. Host</span><br>
Quiet reading is designed to be a casual community meetup. There’s no need for a host: readers arrive, read, and then chat by themselves.
<br>
<br>
Happy reading!
