Do you love to read and want to join a book club but are nervous about speaking to a group? Or perhaps you have a busy life and need some downtime to enjoy reading uninterrupted. Join us for a morning before the library opens or an after library closes evening of reading quietly at the library on Friday, January 23. This group does not include any discussion questions or sharing about the books. No judgment. No pressure. It is simply a time to sit and read whatever you like in a peaceful, calm environment. Refreshments are provided, but you may bring your own food or drink to enjoy. Choose from two quiet times: 7am to 9am OR 6pm-8pm. Register at salemva.libcal.com
