The Webster Public Library will host its annual Special Needs Parent Resource Fair on Saturday April 19 from 10 a.m. to noon. This event is especially for parents and caregivers who are looking for community resources to support their loved ones who have special needs.
In previous years, almost 60 organizations from all over the Rochester area have participated, and most will likely be returning this year. Scroll down to see the list of last year’s participants.
Autism Up will be set up in the Community Room with a sensory space, in case you need a breather and want to learn more about what they have to offer.
Registration is recommended if you’d like a reminder. Caregivers can come any time during the fair, and if you’re unable to attend, information about the attending organizations will be available by request.
The Webster Public Library is located at 980 Ridge Rd. at the rear of Webster Plaza.

WPL Staff Librarian Jenny Paxson is instrumental in organizing and advertising this landmark event. If you search Spectrum News, there is a nice interview with her (March 2023). Thanks, Missy, for covering this. Thanks to Jenny for her dedication, selfless efforts, and all-around good humor and wonderful attitude; and thanks to the WPL staff and management for supporting this one-of-a-kind event. Missy, you’ve often said – and it bears repeating – Webster is a unique little town with some amazing people who do some amazing things. This is one more example.
