SILENT BOOK CLUB AT MATTER
Silent Book Club is a global community of readers and introverts, with more than 500 chapters in 50 countries around the world led by local volunteers. SBC members gather in public at bars, cafes, bookstores, libraries, and online to read together in quiet camaraderie. The Denver branch is now gathering at The Shop at MATTER on the second Saturday of the month, 1:00-3:00pm. So grab your book and get ready to cozy up and read in beautiful silence with other members.
Bring your own book, e-book, comic, audiobook, zine, textbook, or shop beforehand in our bookstore.

MAKING OUR WAY BACK CRAFT NIGHT
Making Our Way Back is an invitation to slow down and return—to yourself, to community, and to the quiet intelligence of your hands. Through simple, hands-on craft, we honor the rhythm of making as a form of care, resilience, and shared knowledge. Ready to stitch up something new? Whether you're a total beginner or want to approach a new challenge, David's crochet workshop has got you covered. Start with the basics or break out of your usual techniques. Bring a project idea and learn what you need to get started on the fuzzy creation of your dreams!
RSVP through our Linkin.bio.

Welcome to MATTERBETAs, a vital way to include our community in our bookstore's curation. We will discuss our books from the past month.

As Beta Readers of these titles, we all report back on the books we read.
Books are free. One per month. Simple evaluation rubric provided.

We hope to catch you MATTERBETA-ing. RSVP through our Linkin.bio.
