Community.

There are several amazing groups who support our bookish community in many ways! It’s worth checking them out to see how you can support literacy and book availability in our community:

Local book clubs.

Sometimes finding people who love books as much as you do makes all the difference! A few of the local groups who host book clubs and book centered events:

  • Silent Book Club. International organization with chapters around the world. Our local chapter meets several times a month at various locations around the Tri-Cities. They socialize for the first hour, then quietly read whatever they want for the second hour! Check out their bookclubs page here.
