Next Chapter Book Club is a community-based book club for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Participants (even those who cannot read) gather for one hour weekly to read aloud and discuss a book that is provided by the Library. Together, we will explore new worlds and meet interesting characters through fun and engaging stories, gaining real-world skills and making new friends along the way.
