Austin Has One as Well
RECEIVED Thu., Oct. 13, 2005
Dear Editor,
In reading the excerpt from Marrit Ingman's memoir, Inconsolable: How I Threw My Mental Health Out With the Diapers [Books, Sept. 30], I noticed her mention of Family Place, a community center for families in Canada that offers a toy library, parent support, and other services. She and other parents will be pleased to know that Austin also has just such a place for parents – FamilyConnections – that has a certified Family Place library with books and toys for children, as well as books, classes, and many helpful resources for parents of young children (see www.familyconnectionsonline.org). It is free thanks to the city of Austin and state, national, and private funders.
