Isabel Griswold, a member of Oneonta-based Girl Scout Troop 30043, recently celebrated the opening of the Oneonta World of Learning Book Nook, a space created by Griswold to allow young readers, including those who are neurodivergent, a chance to explore reading in a comfortable environment.

The OWL Book Nook opening on Saturday, February 1 was attended by about two dozen people and featured a variety of fun events, including a reading by Huntington Memorial Library Youth Coordinator Donna Foote of books with neurodivergent characters, toys and books as door prizes, and cookies the children could decorate themselves.

“I hope the community can gain a place for kids to read in the ways they like best,” Griswold said, adding, “I wanted to include resources that would help parents know what neurodiversity is, and to also know what some signs are to identify if your child may be neurodiverse, and who to ask for help in evaluating your child.
