What's New?

Last month offered us a good bit of atmospheric change here in central Indiana. Autumn's colors peaked and fell to the ground. We also had the first snow flakes of the season, much to the chagrin of my Trick-or-Treaters. Brrr! Along with the weather changes, however, came a couple dozen new titles in the library. From autism spectrum disorders to hearing impairments to social skills, we received books and videos on many different topics.
