A book club for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Join us to enjoy good stories and fun conversations.

The Next Chapter Book Club meets every other Thursday. New members are welcome.

Readers and non-readers at all levels are welcome to join in the fun. We will read a book aloud together, taking turns, discussing the plot and characters, making connections, and making friends. 

We sometimes read short stories that can be completed within the hour, but also choose longer books, based on the interests of the group, that may take several meetings to finish.

Please register to let us know you are coming. If you have any questions about the club, please contact Nicole at 978-623-8451 or nkramer@mhl.org.
