This is our most unique book club! Read what you choose, then share your love (or loathing) with the group.

Meets: We meet for coffee on the second Friday of each month at 10:30 a.m. to discuss all of our favorite reads.

Share-a-Title meets at the Library in person with remote access available via Zoom.

Friendship, books & social interaction!

Next Chapter is a book club for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities. All levels of reading ability are welcome.

We meet twice each month to read and discuss what we've read; we'll also have time to get to know each other and make new friends.

Let us know you're coming. Send an e-mail with your name and either your phone number or e-mail to NextChapterMaitland@gmail.com.
