Join us on the Stoneham Common for an evening of reading (or listening) and getting lost in a book among friends and neighbors.

After a brief welcome and time to get comfortable, readers find a spot anywhere in the Common and enjoy 45 minutes of uninterrupted reading.

We’ll meet up at the end for a casual discussion and share-outs about what we’re reading, memorable themes, favorite authors, and more.
Readers of all ages who can read independently and quietly are welcome.

All formats are welcome: physical books, e-books, audiobooks, graphic novels, manga, poetry, and more.
6:15-6:30 - Arrive and Greetings
6:35-7:20 - Read Silently
7:25-8:00 - Book share and discussion

Rain means we'll postpone to another date.

Join us at the Stoneham Farmers Market Thursday July 16th!

Stop by our table to learn more about Stoneham Reads, and our book choice and theme this year, “Stories That Stay With Us”. Learn more here.

We’ll have books you can peruse, companion book recommendation reading lists, and kids activities.

Don’t forget to join us for our upcoming Silent Reading Nights!

• July 22nd, Stoneham Common, 6:15-8pm

Bring a book and join Stoneham Reads for an evening of quiet reading and community connection. After a brief welcome and time to get comfortable, readers can find a cozy spot anywhere in the library and enjoy 45 minutes of uninterrupted reading. We’ll close the evening with an optional discussion and share-outs about what we’re reading, memorable themes, favorite authors, and more.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
