It was a story told by one sister to another that sparked a movement to change libraries around the state. Cheryl O'Connor's sister in Boston told her about an autistic child and his mother who were asked to leave a public library after the child had a meltdown. That got O'Connor thinking.

With New Jersey's high rates of autism -- one in 94 children are autistic compared with the national average of one in 150 children -- O'Connor thought something should be done to make libraries more welcoming to those with autism. And because O'Connor is the executive director of Infolink -- one of the four regional library cooperatives in New Jersey -- she was just the person to get things started.

Meeting NotesAutism Family Resource Center
The East Brunswick Public Library haslaunched a “Family Resource Collection” for families whose child has been diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. The Family Resource Collection includes many new books and media materials to help families educate themselves about Autism and to offer practical techniques for raising a child with Autism. The library has also partnered with the East Brunswick Public Schools so that teacher resource collections could be placed in the Media Centers of Hammarskjold Middle School, Chittick and Central Elementary Schools.
