San Benito County Free Library and Special Parents Information Network (SPIN) are partnering to provide drop-in style question-and-answer sessions in the the library for parents with children who have special needs. These Q&A sessions will be on Mondays from 4:30-6 p.m. on the following days: Nov. 3 and 17 and Dec. 1 and 15.

Families can discover the latest information on treatments, interventions, services, supports, and networks available. SPIN describes a person with special needs as someone, “who has a temporary or chronic condition or disability present at birth or due to illness or injury.” There is no age limit for accessing information at the SPIN Q&A session. Your child can be as young as an infant or as old as an adult.
