Enjoy quietly: Lübeck opens the first Silent Book Club

Von Kl Redaktion

A fascinating reading event recently took place in the Lübeck city library that brings people together and at the same time celebrates the calm of reading. The so -called Silent Book Club aims to create a relaxed and non -binding atmosphere for book lovers. The concept not only promotes the love of reading, but also a sense of community among the participants.

a new offer for Lübeck

Around 25 readers gather in a quiet area of ​​the city library. Here it is silent, only the quiet re -leafing of the pages can be heard. The first meeting was organized by Denise Bach, which was inspired by a similar concept in Hamburg. "I wanted to start something in Lübeck that offers people the opportunity to read in a relaxed environment," she explains enthusiastically.

The international movement of the Silent Book Club

The Silent Book Club, whose roots are in San Francisco, has developed into a global phenomenon since its foundation in 2012. Volunteers are involved in over 1,000 chapter in 50 countries to bring passionate readers together. These global groups offer a platform that accommodates both introverted and book fans. The goal: to create a "happy hour for bookworms".

power of the books in common silence

The experience was new and enriching for the participant Maria: "It is amazing to be with others and read at the same time in peace. Everyone is deepened into their book, and there is a great, relaxed atmosphere." Relaxation is a central aspect of the concept, which is estimated by many participants because it allows them to enjoy without pressure to perform.

looseness and non -binding

Another advantage of the Silent Book Club is the non -binding. Julia is enthusiastic about this flexibility: "You don't have to feel committed, and that's really great. Every time you can decide whether you want to participate or not." This approach attracts people who shy away from the effort and pressure of traditional book clubs.

Regular meetings to promote reading culture

The next meeting of the Lübeck Silent Book Club takes place every fourth Wednesday of the month. After the one -hour reading period, the participants come together in a moderated exchange round to chat about their books. In the end, your books are shared into a small photo project that is shared on social media - a useful source for reading tips and inspiration.

The Silent Book Club in Lübeck offers a refreshing way to experience reading again and exchange ideas with like -minded people. This type of event shows that literature can also create a place for community and relaxation in a modern, often hectic world.
