Silent Reading Night Wednesday, August 26th, 2026; 6:15-8:00pm

Bring a chair and blanket and join us for an evening of reading (or listening) in the Stoneham Common!

Bring any book, ebook or audiobook of your choice.

🔎 After a brief welcome and time to get comfortable, readers find a spot and enjoy 45 minutes of uninterrupted reading.

😀 We’ll meet up at the end for a casual discussion and share-outs about what we’re reading, memorable themes, favorite authors, and more.

Readers of all ages who can read independently and quietly are welcome.

All formats are welcome: physical books, e-books, audiobooks, graphic novels, manga, poetry, and more.
6:15-6:30 - Arrive and Greetings
6:35-7:20 - Read Silently
7:25-8:00 - Book share and discussion

Rain means we'll postpone to another date. Check back here for updates!

And save the date for October’s Silent Reading Night on Wednesday October 21st.
