The Margins Club – Quiet Reading Night + Book Swap (Nov 27th)

Follow us on Instagram @themarginsclub for updates.

We all leave something in the margins (thoughts, emotions, and ideas that shape who we are). The Margins Club is a social club for readers, writers, and creatives who believe that stories don’t just live in books. They live in us. It’s a space to connect over words, ideas, and the quiet moments in between.

A Quiet Reading Night is a space to read and connect (on your own terms). No assigned readings, no mandatory discussions. Enjoy the freedom to read whatever you like. Just you, your book, and a community of people who love words as much as you do.

💬Don't Feel Like Socializing? No problem! You can arrive and order food/drink then enjoy your book and treats.

Our Quiet Reading Nights are just the beginning. We’re building a space that goes beyond the page (where stories spark friendships, writers find their voices, and the quiet moments in between speak the loudest).

P.S. No tickets required! This helps us gauge attendance and could act as a reminder for you, so it's encouraged :)

Info: People arrive, order drinks/food, and share what they’re reading. Scan the barcode signs around the café to add your current read to our communal shelf — it’s a fun way to discover new books and see what others are into! If you brought books to swap, this is also the time to place them in the designated area (we’ll have a table set up). Swapping officially starts after the Quiet Reading Hour!

Info: Now’s the time to swap! Even if you didn’t bring a book, stick around — there’s always a chance you’ll go home with something special. Plus, it’s a cozy time to mingle, browse, and chat with fellow readers.
