Activities for April 2026
Tuesday, April 7th at 1:30 pm: Afternoon Chapter. Why come to just read your own book at the Club in shared silence? Because everyone reading is a beautiful sight. It can help you stay consistent with your reading goals, break a slump in your intention to read more, foster a unique sense of community and help you meet Club members who are also readers. Think of it as the Introvert’s Happy Hour. A bit of conversation at first, then reading for an hour, then optional chat or not. Low commitment, no deadlines, screen free, judgment free, free. These days, isn’t that just what you need?
