Homer Babbidge Library
A silent book club is recreational reading without assigned reading. Bring something you want to read during the hour, and others will do the same! It?s a great way to take a break, carve out some reading time, meet new friends, and get book recommendations.

Wednesday, October 14th, 2026
03:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Homer Babbidge Library
Join us each week for Interleaf: A Scholarly Writing Group, meeting Wednesdays from 3:00-5:00 at Homer Babbidge Library 1102.
This is a space for graduate students, postdocs, and all scholars engaged in writing and publishing to build community across disciplines, to set aside dedicated structured time to write, and to feel less isolated in the pursuit of a finished draft. Writing groups are a crucial connection point for collaborative resource, service, and expertise sharing across often siloed disciplines and perspectives. You will also get acquainted with HBL?s Scholarly Communications Team.
Meeting Structure:3:00-3:15: Introductions & Goal Setting
3:15-4:45: Dedicated Writing Time
4:45-5:00: Interleaf Exits
