People sit on blankets and lawn chairs on a grassy area, enjoying a sunny day near a large stone monument and tall modern office buildings in the background. Some are reading or relaxing under a clear blue sky.

Out & About Reading Party

Name: Out & About Reading Party
Start: 2025-08-14T18:30:00.000Z
End: 2025-08-14T19:30:00.000Z
Location: The Joslyn Art Museum

Thu Aug 14, 6:30PM–7:30PM

For this outdoor event in the Museum’s Discovery Garden, we are asking people to bring their own lawn chair or blanket. If inclement weather, this event will move inside the Museum.

Join Omaha Public Library (OPL) on the second Thursday of the month to read with fellow book lovers from all over Omaha at a silent reading party. In August, The Joslyn is the host site.

In this nontraditional book club, there are no assigned readings—you just read what you bring! All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books . . . it’s BYOBook. However, if you pop in or forget your book, OPL will provided some reading materials for the duration of the program.

Come settle in for an hour of silent, sustained reading. At the end of the time, attendees can socialize, or not! The Museum will be open until 8 pm.
