Central Library

Craft Room, Storytime Room

Join us for a book club designed for children with autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing sensitivities, or disabilities. This month, we read aloud, talk about, and complete activities based on the book And Then Comes School by Tom Brenner.

Joyful anticipation is in the air as a child observes cues that the first day of school is coming soon.

Cooler mornings, cicadas buzzing, apples ripening . . . Can shopping for school supplies be far behind? 

Caregivers are encouraged to attend with their child; siblings are also welcome.
