Neurodivergent Book Club

This book club aims to provide support to neurodivergent people and educate those wanting to learn more. It is run by Zara, our receptionist at LGI library, who is neurodivergent.

The club is bi-monthly, on the first Monday of that month at 13:00 for 30 minutes on Teams. There is a mix of fiction and non-fiction on the reading list, focussing on neurodivergent people and their experiences. Members are not expected to read all the book to participate.
