Join us for Silent Book Club at Gedney Bakery & Coffeehouse, a relaxed gathering for anyone who enjoys getting lost in a good book. Bring whatever you're currently reading, order your favorite handcrafted beverage and scratch-made treat, and enjoy quiet reading in a cozy atmosphere. There's no assigned book, no required discussion, and no pressure, just a chance to unwind and share the space with fellow readers.

An Evening of Words, Warmth & Community Bring your poems, your stories, or the words of writers you love—just credit the author. No prizes, no pressure. Just a welcoming room, a microphone, and a community ready to listen. Readings will start at 6:30 p.m. Come early to grab a beverage and settle in. Thank you to our co-host Steve Brown Art Center. BONUS: Dan Cohen will be there to show his photos, and Pat McIntosh will exhibit her paintings. Sign up at Gedney or call (319) 290-0241
