Are you interested in being a part of a Next Chapter Book Club? 

Picture
What is the Next Chapter Book Club?  It's a unique community-based book club program for adolescents and adults with Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy and other intellectual and developmental disabilities.  Our members (including some who cannot read) love books for the same reasons most people do.  They enjoy being transported to different worlds where they meet interesting characters and learn about exciting new things.  Taking that journey with a group of friends makes it even more delightful and fun.
​
Doesn't that sound like fun?  We think so.  In order to start a club, we will need lots of participants and volunteers.  Please complete our Next Chapter Book Club sign up forms and let us know what part of town you are in so we can connect you to a club as close to your neighborhood as possible!
