📖Silent Reading Café at The Core Library
Thursday 24th September, 6pm-7.45pm📖

Indulge in a digital detox, switch off from the outside world, and lose yourself in an hour of uninterrupted reading at The Core. No, it’s not a reading club, it’s a chance to unwind and read any book you like, in a cosy, informal environment without distractions. So, step away from that phone, grab a slice of cake and a coffee, and treat yourself to an hour of silent reading!

The Cafe begins with an hour of silent reading between 6pm & 7pm, with a chance to chat (if you want) between 7pm & 7.45pm. There's no obligation to talk about your book, although the conversation often turns to what everyone is reading!

So, bring a book (or e-reader), purchase some goodies from Encore Café, sit back, relax, and enjoy a slice of blissful silence.

We're thrilled to announce our next author event at The Core Library in Solihull. 📖

On Saturday 17th October, at 10.30am, we will be welcoming Midlands-based author, Molly Jade to The Core Library. Molly Jade will be sharing insights into her writing and her debut novel, The Last Half-Blood.
