Describe the challenge you want to address:

Reading is very popular but most young readers don't get to share this experience with people their age. Also, a lot of seniors report experiencing loneliness. They also read the most of any age group.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

Establish a book club open to residents over 65 and under 18 that meets once a month for a year at libraries in the Bronx while younger and older readers can discuss books together and connect with each other.
