I went to an introvert's munch once. It was held at a public library. Everyone just nodded and smiled at each other as they read books. No one spoke to anyone. It was amusing as performance art but it was a shitty munch.

How does one munch at a library? Isn't that usually frowned upon?

It's just the name of a particular kind of social get-together.

Oh I see, interesting. I guess they're named after the fact that normally they're at a restaurant?

The Wikipedia article was...interesting. The first paragraph of the "history" section seemed like someone had removed a sentence at random. "After that initial meeting", without ever having described any first meeting, but having set the stage where such a first meeting might take place. If someone has knowledge & sources about that first meeting, that'd be a great opportunity to improve Wikipedia.

Even librarians love snacks

What’s a munch? I feel like this is a set up

I mean, that sounds like a really nice social event. I assume that whatever a munch is doesn't jive with flourishing introverts.
