Welcome!

Posted on Updated on

The “Targeting Autism Illinois Libraries Blog” was created to provide a virtual space for librarians to connect with one another on issues relating to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) and libraries. You are encouraged to use this blog to help each other assist the ASD patron population. Here are a just few ideas to help you develop this blog as a useful resource:

  1. share services and programming that you offer to your patrons with ASDs.
  2. share expertise and resources.
  3. discuss specific issues your library has in serving patrons with ASDs.

Finally, Illinois State Library wants to ensure that all issues, priorities and perspectives are addressed in the Institute of Museum and Library Services(IMLS), National Leadership Grant (NLG) “Targeting Autism: A National Forum on Serving Library Patrons on the Spectrum” Your contributions to this blog are one way to ensure that your voice will be heard at the two upcoming forums.

To post items to the blog, please send your content to: Suzanne Schriar at sschriar@ilsos.net.
