Next Chapter Book Club (NCBC)

I came across an article in the summer issue of Exceptional Family magazine. This book club looks like an interesting idea that could be adapted for our clients. The closest club to us is in Fort Erie, Ontario.

"What A Novel Idea
Unlike other book clubs, the Next Chapter Book Club (NCBC) provides adolescents and adults with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to read and learn to read, talk about books, and make friends in a fun, community setting. Next Chapter Book Clubs across North America and in Germany meet weekly in local bookstores and cafés to read aloud and discuss books of their choosing. NCBC members range from those who read well to those who cannot read independently."
