SWAN Places Book Clubs are in-person social meet-up groups in locations across Scotland. They are autistic spaces, run by autistic volunteers.

Join us on the first Thursday of the month in the Mitchell Library from 6:15-7:30 PM

Book Details: 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman

Who is the group for: The group is open to all autistic-identified women (cis and trans) and non-binary people aged 18+ and will be led by a trained, autistic SWAN volunteer.

We’ll provide you with a free copy of the book (physical or audio) at the first meeting.

The group will be limited to 12 participants so it’s not overwhelming and everyone can participate.
