This second edition provides key information, updated program
ideas, and practical tips that will help library workers feel more
prepared to serve members of this prevalent population. Since the
first edition of this landmark guide was published, there has been
increased interest in services for library patrons on the autism
spectrum; indeed, more people of all ages now self-identify as
autistic. Those who understand the unique characteristics of
autistic young people know that ordinary library programming guides
are not up to the task of effectively serving these library users.
Well qualified to speak to this need, Anderson is an educator,
library researcher, and former public librarian who has helped to
develop two IMLS funded initiatives that train library workers to
better understand and serve autistic patrons. Here, she offers
librarians who work with children and teens in both public library
and K-12 educational settings an updated, comprehensive resource
that includes an updated introduction to the basics of autism,
including language, symbolism, and best practices in the library
rooted in the principles of Universal Design; step-by-step programs
from librarians across the country, adaptable for both public and
school library settings, that are cost-effective and easy to
replicate; contributions from autistic self-advocates throughout
the text, demonstrating that the program ideas included are truly
designed with their preferences in mind; suggestions for securing
funding and establishing partnerships with community organizations;
and many helpful appendices, with handy resources for training and
education, building a collection, storytimes, sensory integration
activities, and a "Tips for a Successful Library Visit" template.
