Quiet Reading Party for ADHD & Neurodiverse Adults

This book club meets on the second and fourth Saturday every month. Check out https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/events for information on the latest meetings.

Do you struggle to focus on reading due to ADHD or a neurodevelopmental disorder, mood disorder, or reading disability? You're not alone! Reading can be extraordinarily difficult for people who struggle with executive function (the ability to start tasks), sitting still, and managing distractions. While often associated with neurodivergency, especially ADHD, executive dysfunction can affect anyone.

If this resonates with you, join the Central Library's Quiet Reading Party! This quiet group setting provides a place for ADHD and otherwise neurodiverse adults to focus on achieving their reading goals by "body doubling," or working on tasks alongside someone else. Whether you're reading for pleasure or studying for school, bring a book and a page count goal. Meet your goal and take a sticker!

Snacks, fidget toys, and other helpful tools for maintaining focus will be provided. Adult coloring book pages will also be available for those who are listening to audiobooks (bring your own headphones)!

While this group is intended specifically for ADHD and neurodivergent adults, you do not need to have a formal diagnosis to attend. If you feel that you would benefit from this space, you are welcome!

Sign up for email reminders by subscribing to the Quiet Reading Party interest group. Email reminders will be sent out one day prior to the event. You may unsubscribe at any time.
