The Farms: Silent Book Club

Experience Level: Beginner

Need a good place to relax and concentrate on your latest read? Then swing out to the Mansion for our Silent Book Club from 5 to 8 p.m. on select Mondays.*

The evening will begin with a brief group discussion of what we are currently reading and to swap recommendations. Then participants will break up to do what they love: READ! You can curl up in the Butternut Room, find a chair in the Solarium or read in front of a fire in the Gallery. If the weather is nice, feel free to bring a lawn chair or blanket and read outside!

A cash bar will be available.

Silent Book Club is free and registration is not required. Just show up with a book, bring your favorite snack and get to reading!
