Seekers Book Club
Seekers Book Club aims to bring together individuals from different backgrounds to read various books from an Islamic, Singaporean, and/or Southeast Asian lens. Whether the text is secular or set in an unfamiliar culture, there is always something within a book that can resonate with the Muslim faith.
That space of seeking commonality is what drives this book club. With each participant’s unique experience and perspective grounded in religion and identity, we discuss our thoughts and perspectives based on the pages of a book.
Sama-Sama Book Club
Sama-Sama Book Club aims to bring together individuals from different backgrounds to read various books from a Southeast Asian lens. Whether the text is secular or set in an unfamiliar culture, there is always something within a book that can connect with us.
The Silent Book Club
Bring your favorite book and immerse yourself in a world of words with fellow book lovers. Whether you're into fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, this event is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the quiet pleasure of reading. No need to worry about discussions - just come, grab a cup of cafe drink, and read in peace. Come and feel comfortable reading long lines of text!
Come to any sessions of our three book clubs to explore ways you can socialise through books.
To encourage and foster the love of reading and learning, we organise and run 3 book clubs. Two of the book clubs is done in collaboration: one with Wardah Books and another is with The National Library Board of Singapore.
How it works is that we announce a book we will cover and open registrations for participants to join for free. On the event day, we all come together to discuss the book — share and listen to each other’s learnings, perspectives, and favourite parts of the book.
Since most of our participants are new to book clubs; we focus on keeping sessions lighthearted, comfortable, and fun. We want to make reading and learning be more social rather than an individual activity.
Participants don’t have to always contribute, if you’re more of a listener, you’re still welcome. The only criteria we have is that you have read the book or have read a portion of the book.
Follow our Instagram or join our Telegram Channel to stay updated on the next book club.
