Makes me think about starting a non-profit club at a physical location. Some comfortable chairs etc. Just a quiet place to go read or be in the proximity of others. Perhaps with rules about what’s allowed:

- Members only (guests have to join)

- No disturbing others

- Quiet voices only

- No soliciting

- No electronic devices



If you squint a little bit, what you are describing is a (public) library.


Points 1 and 4 (and in some cases, Point 5) are a Private Members' Club: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_members%27_club

Points 2 and 3 are the Diogenes Club: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes_Club
