Public libraries may provide autism specific events such as sensory story times, social stories, literacy, art appreciation and film screenings. They may also provide quiet, clutter free areas to make libraries welcoming to people with autism and their carers.
Public libraries may host literary festivals, poetry readings, creative writing classes, and panel discussions with authors to promote reading and writing.
