9-10 a.m. Private Library Time | 10 a.m.-Noon Themed Activities

Join the Germantown Community Library and the Autism Society SE WI as we open the library on Sunday mornings for guests & families with special needs including Autism. Explore the Early Literacy Area, check out books & DVDs, learn about the free library programs & digital resources.

Free for the community.

New families are invited to come and experience the power in support and acceptance in a semi-private venue where you can network and connect with other families who share a similar journey.

Sensory Friendly Sundays at the Germantown Community Library provide a judgement free zone for families to be themselves and feel support… and not worry if your kid can not be quiet or sit still. It is wonderful to be surrounded by others who understand.
