All are welcome once able to maintain the silence of the space during our designated quiet hour of uninterrupted reading.

There is no cost to attend The Quiet Chapter when it is hosted at The Arts Café but we encourage persons to patronise the café as they are sharing their space with us. A warm beverage, snack or light meal can pair well with our reading.

There may be months when we are not at The Arts Café such as December's meetup at The Shadytree Cottage in Retrench. A cover charge is then applied to manage the rent of the space and any food/drinks provided.

If you'd like to make a donation towards management of The Quiet Chapter or would like to volunteer to assist with setup please speak with Renee (744-8161).

There is no assigned reading at this club. Bring whatever you are currently reading or would like to read: a book, an e-book, audiobook (please walk with your headphones), comic book, or textbook.

You are welcome to pause in your reading, stare off into space, process what you've read or rest your eyes. Please avoid interrupting anyone else during the quiet hour.

You are welcome to but do not have to. There will be optional sharing of what we've read, or what may have come up for us during our reading. You are also welcome to stay and listen.

If you're unsure what you want to read, consider choosing a book based on a loose personal prompt such as:

• something in a period you're interested in,

• something you always meant to finish,

• an embarrassing comfort book,

• a book someone gifted you, or

• one from those that others have read
