    Information Literacy: Autism Awareness for Library Workers

    Monday, April 28, 2025

    In recognition of Autism Awareness Month, ALA invites you to a virtual program to learn how libraries can support coworkers and patrons on the autism spectrum. The program will be a moderated conversation.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    I also missed it. It began at 7:00 am my time and I completely forgot about it over the weekend!  

    Was anyone else here able to attend and can you share it it was recorded?
