The article offers information on the Ferguson Library's Special Needs Collection in Stamford, Connecticut. It notes that Ferguson Library's formal initiative to better serve children with special needs and their caregivers began in 2002 after a patron called library director Ernest DiMattia on the lack of resources for parents of children with special needs in the community. It states that the Connecticut Association for Children with Learning Disabilities and the local bank have provided the fund for the said expansion. It mentions that the expansion includes more than two hundred books, five journal subscriptions, and a DVD collection.
