✨ What is The Margins Club? ✨

We all leave something in the margins (thoughts, emotions, and ideas that shape who we are). The Margins Club is a social club for readers, writers, and creatives who believe that stories don’t just live in books. They live in us. It’s a space to connect over words, ideas, and the quiet moments in between.



📖 What is a Quiet Reading Night?📖

A Quiet Reading Night is a space to read and connect (on your own terms). No assigned readings, no mandatory discussions. Enjoy the freedom to read whatever you like. Just you, your book, and a community of people who love words as much as you do.


💬Don't Feel Like Socializing? No problem! You can arrive and order food/drink then enjoy your book and treats.



🗣️ More Than Just Reading🗣️

Our Quiet Reading Nights are just the beginning. We’re building a space that goes beyond the page (where stories spark friendships, writers find their voices, and the quiet moments in between speak the loudest).


P.S. No tickets required! This helps us gauge attendance and could act as a reminder for you, so it's encouraged :)


Agenda

Info: People arrive, order drinks/food, and share what they’re reading. Scan the barcode signs around the café to add your current read to our communal shelf. I will be around asking to take a video of your book (just the cover) to share it on Instagram (anonymously).
