Join our Silent Book Club!
Read the book you want, when you want. There are no deadlines, no limits to how many books you can post about, and no membership restrictions. When you’re finished with your book, just fill out this quick questionnaire telling us what you liked or disliked and whether or not you would recommend it to someone else. Books can be any genre, any length, and any format!

If you are interested in discussing what you are reading with others, you’ll be invited to our dedicated Google Chat after filling out your first questionnaire. Our librarians will select posts for display in the library, which is where you can also check out what other members are reading!
