On Tuesday I visited the Fanwood Public Library in New Jersey. This is a small library but wonderful library. It is inspiring to see how the size of a library does not have to dictate how disability aware a library can be.
Dan Weiss from Fanwood NJ Library and Meg from Scotch Plains NJ Library developed the project Libraries and Autism We're Connected. This is a fantastic project that aims to help libraries become welcoming places for children and adults with autism and their famiies. They have created a range of excellent resources, including a decal for libraries to use to indicate that they are autism friendly, as well as a very useful DVD. To find out more about the project I highly recommend visiting the website:
