Free weekly events in
libraries, parks, and cafes.


One reading hour. One social hour.
Bring your own book, make a new friend!



Quiet Reading is about intentionally setting aside time for reading, community, and thoughtful discussion.

You can start your own Quiet Reading today with your friends, your family, your classmates, or your roommates. Just pick a time and tell everyone to show up with a good book!

If you run an event space like a library, park, cafe, or bar, Quiet Reading events are a great way to foster a local community. We can help you get started by running the first few events and advertising it: please contact us at team@quietreading.org.
