FREE COMMUNITY EVENT
This month will look slightly different for Silent Book Club. We’re excited to be meeting at Renfrow Farms to enjoy outdoor reading before it gets too cool and dark. Because of the decreasing daylight hours, we are moving Silent Book Club up to 5:30 PM. It’ll be like a fall picnic, especially if you bring snacks. Don’t forget to pack a folding chair or blanket to get cozy, plus something warm to sip on while you enjoy your current read. Get ready to relax, unwind, and soak in the crisp autumn air!
Renfrow Farms, along with its sister business Renfrow Hardware, has been a staple in the community for generations.
Established in 1900, Renfrow Hardware has proudly served Matthews for over 120 years. The farm started in 2011, continuing the tradition by bringing the focus back to its agricultural roots. This multi-generational business is a beautiful blend of history, farming, and community, connecting the past with the present through a shared love for the land and family involvement.
Get ready for fall fun this month!
We're excited to bring not just one, not two, but three local authors for you to meet! That's right—trick or treat, we’ve got a fantastic trio of talented writers lined up for you to meet!
🍬 C.C. Tyler
🍬 AnnaLisa Grant
🍬 E.M. Rinaldi
We can’t wait for you to chat with them about their latest books. It's going to be a literary treat you won’t want to miss!
How Silent Book Club Works
For those who are new here, Silent Book Club is called that because it is an opportunity to enjoy quietly reading a book in a location different from your home, where no discussion is required. Silent Book Club provides at least one hour each month of disconnecting from reality and diving into another enjoyable pastime. During our quiet reading time, you are more than welcome to chat with others or our guest author. Again, there are no rules besides relaxing and enjoying whatever book you choose to bring.
