Chapter Chat Book Club

Chapter Chat is a read-together group for folks 17 and older who have intellectual disabilities. This group will meet on a weekly basis for the time it takes to read a book together aloud. We will choose our book selections as a group. Ideally, you will be able to attend meetings every week until we finish the book.

At the event, we will take turns reading aloud from the book. You can read aloud as much or as little as you like, or you can just listen! This is not a reading instruction class: instead, we read together to socialize and share the experience of reading a good book.

This group is limited to ten participants.  Please call Riverton Library at 856-829-2476 for more information.

This event will be on Monday, August 19th from 2:30 to 3:30 pm.

Parenting and Paperback

Want to chat with other parents about the parenting book you just read? Are you looking for a place to discuss the joys and difficulties of raising kids? Join us for Parenting and Paperbacks!

We will be talking about a specific topic, and you are invited to read a book (or two) and come ready to add to the conversation. If you don’t have the opportunity to read a book, come for the discussion anyway!

For this meeting, we’ll be talking about milestones. Books on this topic include Mom Milestones: The True Story of the First Seven Years; The Wonder Years; The Parenting Map; The Wonder Weeks; Caring For Your Baby and Young Child; The Confident Parent; Baby 411; The Sears Baby Book; The Science of Mom; Talking Baby: Helping Your Baby Discover Language; The Whole Brain Child; Ages and Stages; What’s Going On In There: How the Brain and Mind Develop; Baby-Led Weaning; Feeding Littles and Beyond; The Happiest Baby on the Block; The Good Sleeper; The Complete Guide to Potty Training; and The First Time Parent’s Guide to Potty Training.

We welcome kids to come along with their grownups. We’ll lay out some toys, but you are responsible for your child while in the library.

This event will be on Friday, August 16 from 10:30 to 11:30 am.

Audience: Kids, Babies & Toddlers, Family
