Next Chapter Community Book Club

Next Chapter Community Book Club is a welcoming program designed for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Whether participants are experienced readers or just beginning their reading journey, they'll find a supportive environment here. The group gathers to read and discuss a book that's been chosen in advance, with two trained facilitators on hand to guide the conversation and offer assistance as needed. All books and materials are provided, so there's nothing you need to bring or purchase. This is a great option for adults looking to connect with others through literature in a relaxed, inclusive setting. If you're interested in joining or have questions about accessibility or communication support, reach out to the Ashland Branch directly—they're happy to help make sure the experience works well for everyone.
