LIBRARIES AND AUTISM – WE’RE CONNECTED

Libraries and Autism: We’re Connected was created through collaboration between the Scotch Plains Public Library (NJ) and the Fanwood Memorial Library (NJ), along with their partners. What began as a customer service training video for librarians has led to a robust website, full of videos, links, documents, and many other helpful resources geared towards helping librarians provide service to this underserved, growing population.

PROJECT ENABLE

Syracuse University’s Project ENABLE provides training opportunities to raise librarians’ awareness on a wide range of disabilities, and to encourage them to provide excellent service to people with disabilities.
