Silent Book Club Roanoke Picnic in Garst Mill Park

Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the assigned book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books, friends, and drinks - without any homework? At Silent Book Club, there is no assigned reading.
At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading. All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books... it's BYOBook. Our events are free and support local businesses. Friends and strangers gather at a set time and location, order food or drinks, share what they're reading, and settle in for an hour of silent, sustained reading. At the end of the hour, attendees can socialize—or not!
Please BYOD (Bring Your Own Dinner) to this event. Blankets and chairs more than welcome! Whatever you need to have a great time! The map to find the picnic will be in the discussion for this event.
