Silent Book Club 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 maybe some coffee — without any homework? At Silent Book Club, there’s no assigned reading. We will also talk about what each other is reading, and in the process, maybe learn about a new book to try! Yadkin Public Library Third Thursdays from 5-6:30 p.m.
These Book Clubs are available online
Story Times are available for a variety of ages and are available at most of our Regional branches. Please see the locations and times below or call your nearest branch to learn more!
