Welcome to our first Silent Book Club!

If you’re looking to make a bit of time for reading again, you’ve come to the right place. We’re offering a communal reading session – with no pressure or set rules. Just bring along your own book, a magazine, your study material, an audiobook or any other reading material. The genre is entirely up to you.

Relax in our new library and enjoy reading together in a quiet, calm atmosphere. The most important thing is this: for one hour, we focus entirely on reading – no laptops, no mobile phones.

After the reading session, there’s an opportunity to chat voluntarily about what you’ve read or your favourite books in general. Those who prefer to remain silent are just as welcome. It’s no accident that silent book clubs are known worldwide as ‘Introvert Happy Hour’.

The Silent Book Club takes place every first Thursday of the month. Entry is free, and no registration is required. Drinks can be purchased at the Goethe Café.
