PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — In this episode of “Beyond the Next Chapter,” our host Whitney Clark introduces us to silent book clubs. What is a silent book club? Think of it as a flash mob, but for readers!

Whitney talks to the organizers of the Phoenix and East Valley Silent Book Club chapters who say they now have two meetings a month.
