There will be a minor construction project in the Windsor Library beginning December 9, and running through the end of the week. While we’ll do our best to minimize disruptions, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete this necessary improvement.

The Windsor Library will close early Friday, December 13, at 5:00 p.m. to prepare for Santa's Workshop. Join us when we reopen at 5:30 p.m. for this fun, free family event!

Description

Being a teen is hard enough. But when you have autism--or when your sibling is struggling with the condition--life can be a topsy-turvy ride. What happens when you come face-to-face with dating, parties, sports, body changes, school, and kids who just don't get you? Where do you turn when your sibling with autism is the butt of jokes, the victim of misunderstood social cues, and the one everyone thinks is weird? Through alternating narratives based on their own lives, Ryan Elizabeth Peete and her twin brother, RJ, who has autism, bravely and honestly reveal what it means to be a teen living with the disorder. With insight and humor, Same But Different explores the many aspects of teen autism, while daring to address issues and feelings nobody talks about. This powerfully rendered, timely book is the only one of its kind. It paints an important story of hope for teens and families living with autism--and lets us see that everybody's unique rhythm is worth dancing to.
