Understanding Our Differences has started a Disability Awareness Book Club. It meets the first Monday of the month at Newton Free Library, 7:00 pm in Meeting Room A.

We’re taking the summer off, and due to Labor Day, our first meeting in the fall will be on Thursday, Sept. 10th. The book to be discussed is All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.

The purpose of the club is to engage in thought provoking discussion centered on books with a disability theme: fiction that portrays a character with a disability; nonfiction about living with a disability, and biographies, autobiographies or memoirs about living with a disability.

For more information or to RSVP, email Jenni Acosta, Program Director. We hope you’ll join us for these lively and thoughtful discussions. Come away with a new take on a book you may even have read for another book club!
