From staff reports
The final Silent Book Club Beaufort meet-up of the year will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22, at the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center at 601 Bladen Street. Designed to offer a relaxed and pressure-free space for readers of all types, this community gathering invites book lovers to enjoy their current reads in a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere.
Unlike traditional book clubs, Silent Book Club Beaufort has no assigned reading, no deadlines, and no discussions required. Whether you prefer ebooks, audiobooks, comic books, textbooks, or paperbacks, readers are invited to bring their book of choice, settle in, and savor the joy of uninterrupted reading among like-minded individuals. Whether you’re a lifelong bookworm or just getting back into reading, everyone is welcome.
The hour of silent reading will be held from 5 to 6 p.m., utilizing the conference room, education room, gallery rooms, and lobby of the Conroy Center. Bookending that hour, from 4:30 to 5 p.m., and 6 to 6:30 p.m., are opportunities for sharing recommendations and connecting with fellow readers. Refreshments are provided.
Offered in collaboration with the Conroy Center and the student-led DAYLO (Diversity Awareness Youth Literacy Organization) book club, this free event also includes a book swap and serves as an opportunity to discover new book recommendations, make friends, and reconnect with the love of reading. Silent Book Club Beaufort meet-ups at the Conroy Center will continue in 2026.
