Founded at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center's Nisonger Center in 2002, the Next Chapter Book Club is a book club program for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), regardless of reading ability. 

• There are 22 book clubs in Franklin County, Ohio. 
• Clubs meet weekly for one hour in bookstores, libraries and cafés to socialize and read a book together. . 
• On average, NCBC serves 120+ people per year with the help of 30+ volunteers.
• NCBC members choose the books they read, including everything from The Boxcar Children to The Hunger Games. 
• Volunteer Facilitators help guide meetings and provide support as needed. 

NCBC meetings provide consistent, supported opportunities for adults with IDD to read and learn, build social skills and a sense of belonging and be included in their communities. In addition to weekly book club meetings, NCBC members and volunteers look forward to the annual Halloween Party, where they don their favorite costumes and meet other book lovers from clubs across the Columbus area.
