The Book Wizard
The Garden City Public Library’s Children’s Department has created a social storybook for children with autism, which features a wizard doll visiting the Library. The book was created and designed by the Library’s Children’s Department with funds from the federal Library Services & Technology Act, awarded to the New York State Library by the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.
For younger readers, an abridged version of this title is also available. A hardcopy of the book is available in the Children’s Room office to check out or view at the Library.
This collection includes thousands of digital comics and graphic novels available with unlimited simultaneous access. There are no holds, no waiting, and no limits on checkouts.
