​Get excited Columbia!

​Silent Book Club will be Read Freely Fest! There will be a reader's haven on the library's 3rd floor with light tunes and complimentary refreshments—the perfect spot to explore your festival book hauls or complete your current read before rejoining the festivities.

​Similar to our usual meet-ups, no awkward small talk or mandatory discussions—just the simple pleasure of reading in good company.

​The difference: We have a two-hour silent-ish reading block. Drop in and out of this zen space throughout your time at Read Freely Fest.

​Check out the author's schedule and plan your festival day!

​See you there!
