What A Novel Idea

Unlike any other book club, 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 the country meet weekly in local bookstores and cafés to read and discuss books of their choosing.  NCBC members range from those who read well to those who do not read at all.

Get Involved

There are many opportunities to get involved in the NCBC in addition to becoming a book club member. Our book clubs are facilitated by volunteers, hosted by bookstores and cafés in the community, and sponsored by organizations around the country.  Read on to find out more about what we do and how to become involved.
