Join us for a book club for neurodivergent* (ND) youth ages 13 to 18! This group's mission is to provide a space for ND teens to find community with their peers and find joy in reading! This group meets in the Lacey Timberland Library's meeting room on the third Saturday of each month from 4-5 pm. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to stay nearby, but to leave the room if it is safe to do so, as a way of encouraging the teens' social interaction and participation.
Everyone gets a free copy of the book each month, provided with support from the Friends of the Lacey and Olympia Library groups, and there are plenty of accessible seating and sensory aids to help participants self-regulate during the meetings, donated by our partners at Sensory Tool House.
Registration is required at https://timberland.bibliocommons.com/v2/events?q=neurodivergent%20teen
. Please contact Naomi at the Lacey Library ([email protected]) or Claire at the Olympia Library ([email protected]) with any questions or requests for accommodation. Once successfully registered, you will receive an email with information on how to get a copy of the month's book.
*We are using neurodivergent (ND) broadly, encompassing anyone whose mind functions significantly differently from what is considered "typical" in society. Not everyone who could benefit from participating in this book club will identify with the neurodivergent label, and no diagnosis is needed in order to participate.
