Ready for a well-deserved detox read? Phone down, book on! Swap your phone for a book, settle in at the new park next to Campus Fryslân (Willemskade) and read undisturbed alongside fellow silent readers. In other words: join us for Page Against the Machine 2026! An international event that unites people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the joy of reading together – this year in collaboration with the Silent Book Club Fryslân by Tresoar.
Bring your own blanket or garden chair, and any drinks you’d like.
Can’t make it in person? Pick your own favourite spot, quickly share your book online (with #PageAgainsttheMachine), put your phone away and read!
Page Against the Machine is an initiative of Norwich UNESCO City of Literature and The Book Hive.
The Silent Book Club Fryslân normally takes place every first Thirsday of the month at Tresoar.
