Disability Dialogues Book Group
Join us for a book group that reads and discusses books exploring disability. We read a variety of fiction, nonfiction, and memoir - books may be written by disabled authors, feature disabled characters, tell the stories of real people with disabilities, or examine contemporary or historical topics related to disability. Disability isn't a monolith, so we aim to read books that include different disabilities, themes, and perspectives. Everyone is welcome, and new members can join anytime.
Copies of the group's current book are available for checkout at the front desk of the Library. This month, we will be discussing The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight by Andrew Leland.
The Disability Dialogues Book Group meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7pm. During daylight savings time (March-October), the group meets in person at the Library. During standard time (November-February), the group meets virtually via Zoom. The group is co-sponsored by the Understanding Our Differences, the Newton Commission On Disability, and the Newton Free Library. Questions? Write to Jenni at jacosta@
