Events
Silent Book Club at GCSU - Unlike a typical book club, there is no assigned reading. Bring your own book of any kind (novel, text book, graphic novels, etc.), read quietly, and socialize if you feel like it. It's a low-pressure opportunity to connect with other students. Bring your own book, but if you forget, we'll have some books available to borrow. Reading and making new friends enriches our lives and makes us happy. We love hearing about what people are reading (often in their other book clubs) and we think it's important to put down our phones and be social. Real, live, in the same room social, not hearting-you-on-Instagram social. Silent Book Club is about finding community. All GCSU students are welcome!
Here is the typical format
5:00-5:30pm - People arrive, share what they're reading if they want to
5:30-6:30pm - Quiet reading hour
6:30-7:00pm - Optional socializing, or just keep reading
Silent Book Club meets Thursday at 5PM in the HUB (Blackbridge Hall), but for the most up to date information use the Corq app or GC Connect. For more information contact steve.wilson@gcsu.edu
