The Solidarity Team is never neutral on human rights and works to be anti-racist. We stand in Solidarity with those who are persecuted. We believe this is the only way we can truly welcome every child to storytime.

These resources are for caregivers, employees, and other grownups in the library.

Storytime Solidarity amplifies traditionally excluded voices. We speak from our own lived experiences and make room for the marginalized.

By supporting each other, we model the behavior we want for our children.

“…for exploring children’s literature that deals with mental health and neurodiversity issues.”

Facebook has become a surprisingly bustling resource for connecting directly with Autistic voices. Dani (they/them) aka The Punk Rock Autistic shared an amazing list of Autistic bloggers active on Facebook.

Storytime Solidarity’s Asking Autistics Events!

Please note: as of 2023 we are no longer running Asking Autistics
