Our new library is OPEN!

Since 2020, our resident librarian has been working hard on building a collection of neurodivergence-related materials. We are so excited to make this collection available for FREE to the public.

Whether you're a parent, a loved-one, self-diagnosed, neurocurious, or a service provider looking for more information to better serve your neurodivergent clients, we have materials for you.

To become a patron of our library, just go to librarika.com and create a new user account. Then request member access to our library (https://.optionsforcollegesuccess.librarika.com).

Once you've been assigned a member number, you can begin browsing our Neurodivergence & Disability Justice Collection, check out items, or put them on hold! For folks not in the Chicago area, we will also ship books with return envelops.

If you'd like to support our library, please head to our website to DONATE or peruse our collections wish list. With your donations, we can ensure our library services continue to grow and stay free for all.
