AdultGLADL has partnered with BrickHaven Brewing Company to offer a Silent Book Club in Grand Ledge. Participants gather at our designated tables at BrickHaven, and everyone brings a book of their choice to read. The Library Coordinator will offer a quick greeting, participants may order drinks and food, and then we'll all silently read the book of our choice for about 45 minutes. After that time, the Coordinator will invite everyone to share a bit about the book they're reading and people can choose to participate or not, whatever they're comfortable with. Registration required to reserve space.
