Two libraries are better than one!

The Pioneer Library System, with a membership of 42, has been working with the Autism Center to get the word out to families, educators and others about what an Autism Spectrum can mean.

The PLS has "kits" that they loan out on themes and topics, and just last week Nancy Herzig and I met to talk about what would go into the "autism kit."  She also connected us to the Foster Granparents group of Livingston/Wyoming counties, and they will be using our resources to help their volunteers learn more about autism in the classroom.

In the world of today's restricted budgets, collaboration makes sense.  It's a great pleasure to work with the professionals at PLS to improve understanding and supports for individuals with an ASD diagnosis.
