Our first audiobook walk Thursday!

Posted on by Mitchell

Please read all of this! There’s unexpected info at the end.

Thursday at Kapiolani Park!
Our first audiobook walk.

Meet at the bandstand (front and center) at 6 for a voluntary group photo. We’ll start walking at 6:15 and go to 7:15. Then we’ll head to @barefootbeachcafe for food, drinks, and a hang. Or just a hang!

IF THERE’S SOMETHING GOING ON AT THE BANDSTAND, MEET US BACK AND CENTER! BEHIND THE LAST ROW OF SEATS!

We’ll start together, but please walk at your own pace for your own duration. You can peel off at any time and meet us back at the bandstand or at Barefoot Cafe.

PLEASE NOTE (thanks, Aja!). Thursday is Juneteenth, and there will be activities in the park (close to Kaimana Beach, probably) at at the Shell.

We don’t know how crowded the park will be or how easy it will be to find parking, but let’s embrace the spirit of the day and maintain celebratory attitudes! If parking at the park is rough, try the zoo or the area around Monsarrat Ave. Remember, there are two lots on the Diamond Head side, near the rec building (if that’s what it is). Street parking on Kapahulu in front of the zoo is free beginning at 6.

Text Mitchell at 830-255-7423 (830 ALL RICE) for any reason, whenever.

Let me know if you need help getting audiobooks on your phone. There are some free options, but you have to plan ahead!

June, baby

It’s the second-best month of the year, and we have stuff going on.

June reads!

Message Mitchell at 830-255-7423 if you have questions, if you get lost, if you want company to or from your car or bus stop, if you’d like a ride home, of if you just want a silly story and word of encouragement.

Thursday June 12: our regular monthly meetup at Kahala Mall. Free parking, lots of food and drink options but no pressure to spend money. Meet at big round table in front of Whole Foods Market. We’ll say hi (optional), take a group photo (optional), read for an hour, and either call it a night or linger and chat. Get a new sticker from @miyoartdesign! Bring a book or two for the book exchange table!

Thursday June 19: Our first audiobook walk! Meet at the Kapiolani Park bandstand, front and center. We’ll say hi (optional), take a group photo (optional), stick our books in our ears, and walk for an hour at our own paces. Peel off any time if you’ve had enough, and meet us back at the bandstand. Food, drink, and chitchat at Barefoot Beach Cafe until 8. Please let Mitchell know if you’d like some helping getting audiobooks on your phone!

Wednesday, June 25: Proof Readers Book Club at Proof Social Club. Our monthly chill time with books, libations (including great mocktails), and food by Pasta Boys. Check out the in-house book exchange shelves. We’ll also have a book exchange table, so bring a couple of good ones who could use new homes!

Remember: there’s never assigned reading. Silent Book Club is all about reading what YOU want to read.

Possible other June meetups may pop up, so keep an eye on this space.

It’s going to be a great summer! We can’t wait to read with you!
