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, online, and 30 minutes long. There is a mix of fiction and non-fiction, focussing on neurodivergent people and their experiences.

The LTHT libraries do not have the ability to provide these books, but signposting is included in emails.

For each meeting members are sent a form to identify the availability of members and the host. A month before they are sent a link to the Teams meeting, including the agreed date and time. Another email is sent out a few days before the meeting, just to remind members. 

To join fill in the Neurodivergent Book Club signup form. All personal details contained in the form are safe and secure with us. Once this has been reviewed you will be receive a welcome email which includes information on the next book, signposting on where to grab it, and a pdf for the first chapter. If you have any special requirements or need additional help obtaining a book. Please email lthstafflibraries@nhs.net.

At the meeting there is no pressure to put your webcam on or to have read all the book. Furthermore, please be aware that your name is visible to others.

To make the book club a safe place there are rules that need to be followed:

1. Anything discussed in the book club is confidential and should not be shared outside of it.
2. Do not disclose other participant’s details, unless you have permission to do so.
3. Any behaviour considered potentially abusive, discriminatory, or otherwise disruptive by the facilitator may result in the individual’s removal from the meeting and their potential exclusion from future meetings.
4. Due to copyright, we do not forward the first chapter of each book onto anyone who is not participating.
