Next Chapter Book Club

Join for Fun, Lifelong Learning, Friends

How does it work? Participants meet weekly for one hour at local bookstores, coffee shops, and cafes to read and discuss a book of their choosing.

Who can participate? Anyone can participate, regardless of reading or ability level.

Who leads the book clubs? Two trained volunteers facilitate each group. They include students, parents, professionals, retirees, people with disabilities, and various community members.

Why join Next Chapter Book Club? NCBC members have fun, improve literacy skills, make social connections, and take part in the community.

If you would like to be a participating member or a volunteer facilitator, contact us today!
