AACC Library’s Reader Lounge!

The AACC Library Reader Lounge is a monthly “silent” book club/communal reading session where NC State University students, faculty, and staff can connect over a shared love for books and reading in a relaxed, social atmosphere.

Meet new friends, share thoughts on your current read, and discover new titles from our specialized collection of African-American and Afro diasporic experiences, culture, society, and history!

 You can bring your own book, explore the shelves for your next read, ask the AACC Librarians for a curated suggestion or pick up a mystery book to read- you can even bring your reading assignments if you like! Come solo or bring your friend group! All are welcome to join!

There will be:

  • endless books to choose from
  • community introductions and book recommendations
  • snacks, tea and coffee
  • a community curated playlist of music
  • cozy spaces and blankets
  • space to discuss your chosen book and share your review on it with your new friends!

The 1st 10 students who register can request a free copy of a book of their choice for the first session of the book club!
