*whispers* Hey. We have silent book club next week. 🤫📖

Every second Thursday of each month from 5 to 6pm, we're staying open a bit later, putting on some soft music, and inviting you to escape the noise and come read with us in the cozy, contemplative atmosphere of the bookstore. (It is the perfect way to be both in introvert and an extrovert at the same time!)

Our comfy seating is limited, so we encourage you to bring your own cushions, beanbags, blankets, etcetera. With that in mind, grab a book, come by Next Chapter, and let's get reading!
