Another one at The Block on Thursday at 6:30. Look for the people with books at the picnic tables! (We're not associated with the bookshop! We'll be outside!)

We had a big group at Catopia last night! I forgot to take a video of us reading, so here's a book and butt instead. We'll be reading at The Block in Rio Rancho at 6:30 tonight. Look for the group with books at the outdoor tables!

We've got a busy first week of September! We have our usual Reading at Catopia the first Wed at 6:45 and Lost Cultures the first Sun starting at 6:30. Then something new: Rio Rancho's The Block the first Thursday at 6:30. Pic from RR's newest local bookshop, Enchanted Books @ The Block.

Gorgeous views during our audiobook walk after dark last night!

Catopia tomorrow!

Next up: Lost Cultures on August 3rd at 6:30!

Happy two year anniversary SBC ABQ! #silentbookclub #albuquerque #fridaynightclubbing #booksky

We've been active for two years this July! Let's grab our chairs/picnic blankets and meet at North Domingo Baca Park for a book swap and a social read. The book swap is completely optional and casual. We'll aim to meet in the shade at the southwestern edge of the main field, near Carmel Ave.

Adults who read for just 30 minutes a week are 20% more likely to report greater life satisfaction. That's why we host events like #SilentBookClub and highlight the wellbeing benefits of reading with Bibliotherapy! Read @readingagency.bsky.social's report: readingagency.org.uk/adult-readin...

Our reads at Lala today! Most of us brought multiple options to be safe! #silentbookclub #albuquerque #booksky

Check out what we read at Lost Cultures tonight! That hour flew by! Next up: we'll be at Lala Coffee and Tea at 4 tomorrow. (Monday) #silentbookclub #albuquerque #booksky

We had a great meetup at Napoli on Saturday! Check out our excellent literary tastes! #silentbookclub #albuquerque #booksky

We'll be at Napoli Coffee from 3-5 on Saturday!

I deleted the post, but just a reminder - UN-17 on Saturday has been CANCELLED due to unexpected closure of the location. But we'll still be meeting! New location coming soon.

First Sunday of the month at Lost Cultures!

Catopia is coming up as well! Our worst location. 🥰

Next: Casa Vieja in Corrales at 4:30 on Tuesday. They serve beer, cocktails, mocktails, and popcorn. Come early, come late, I know it's an odd time. We'll be out on the patio unless the heat is too insufferable. Order at the bar and join us. What other new places should we try next?

The Corrales Library Book Sale is AMAAAAAZING. Definitely check it out tomorrow if you have the chance! We read for a bit at the park next door. Check out the books we brought. #booksky #silentbookclub #abq #corrales #librarylove

Another great meetup at Catopia tonight! Check out what we read with the cats. #silentbookclub #albuquerque #booksky #catsky

We'll try reading in the park outside the Corrales Library on Sat @ 9:30! While their book sale goes on inside (9-4 Sat/Sun), we'll read our finds outside in the park. I'll start the reading timer at 10-ish so come out to join the reading! BYO chair or picnic blanket. #silentbookclub #abq #corrales

Next up: Catopia! #silentbookclub #albuquerque

Here's what Silent Book Club Albuquerque was reading tonight at Lost Cultures! Admire our excellent literary tastes! #booksky #silentbookclub #albuquerque

We have a great weekend and week coming up! On Saturday, we'll be at the UN-17 Speakeasy at 3PM. Sunday, we'll be at Lost Cultures at 6:30 for tea, mocktails, or NA wine/beer. Then on Wednesday, we'll be at Catopia at 6:45!

Here are our reads from this morning. Next up: UN-17 Speakeasy at 3 on May 31st. See you there! #booksky #albuquerque #silentbookclub

The Cherry Hills Library had their first popup book sale today starting at 10. I got there at 9:59 and there was a line of bookworms waiting to be let in. Lovely to see it! Anyway some of us came to shop and then read on the lawn. Perfect morning for it! #booksky #albuquerque #silentbookclub

First-ever pop-up book sale at Cherry Hills Library on Saturday, May 17! While the book sale goes on inside, we'll be reading our finds outside. Meet at 10:30, I'll start the reading timer at 11-ish so come on out to join the reading! BYO chair or picnic blanket. link.heylo.co/2rKW

Summer reading program for all ages! 🥰

Catopia is our most distracting location by far. 😅 But we'll be back! Next up: speakeasy UN-17 on May 31 at 3!

As the Trump admin escalates its attack on public libraries, PBS’s Independent Lens documentary #FreeForAll explores why they’re vital to culture, community and democracy. Watch it tonight on @pbs.org: www.salon.com/2025/03/30/r...

Last night I watched the new #documentary Free for All: The Public Library, streaming on PBS as part of the Independent Lens series. Directed by Lucie Faulknor and Dawn Logsdon, it traces the history the public library in the US and looks at current challenges. www.pbs.org/independentl... #libraries

And after Lost Cultures, we'll be at Catopia on Wednesday at 6:45.

Experimenting with Heylo - it's loads better than Meetup, but there's hardly anyone in Albuquerque on it! Anyway, our next Meetup is at Lost Cultures on Sunday at 6:30! See you there! #albuquerque #silentbookclub

April 26 is Independent Bookstore Day! bkwrks.com/event/2025-0... Let's meet up at Domingo Baca to chat and read at sunset! Bring your own camp chair or picnic blanket. Those of us who participated in the event can show off their hauls and then we can curl up and read for a bit. Weather permitting!🤞

We'll try LALA this Wednesday! See you at 6!

Just FYI, April's Catopia meetup is cancelled due to construction shutting them down next week. If you want a cat, they're hoping to adopt their remaining ones out ASAP so now's the time! But Sober Sunday! Reading at the Lost Cultures Tea Bar is still on for April 6! More to come!

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders. Read ALA's full response: www.ala.org/news/2025/03...

Next two SBC meetups coming up!

Great audiobook walk in the bosque! We'll be doing it again for sure! 3 porcupines spotted, along with plenty of sandhill cranes and gulls. #silentbookclub #audiobookwalkingclub #albuquerque

We're springing forward this weekend! Let's wind down our late sunset on Sunday by going for a walk in the bosque with our audiobooks! The plan is one mile of audiobook listening and then one mile of optional talking or more audiobooks. See you at Pueblo Montaño Picnic Area and Trailhead at 6.

Another great Catopia meetup last night!

Back to Catopia tomorrow!

Just got the two usuals on the books right now.

Happy 50th birthday to our Main Library! Who is going to the celebration this weekend?!

Just got the two usuals on the books right now.

Wonderful walk in the bosque today! We spotted a porcupine while listening to our audiobooks. 🥰 This was our first walk but not our last! We'll definitely be going on audiobook nature walks monthly.
