April is National Autism Awareness Month, celebrated worldwide. Daviess County Library hopes to empower and encourage our community of parents and educators with a recently purchased collection of autism spectrum materials for adults and children which will be on display for the month of April.
Autism spectrum disorders affect one in 68 individuals in the US. Autism is a complex developmental disorder affecting the way a person communicates and relates to people. The diverse symptoms related to autism can be greatly improved with early intervention and treatment.
April is also National Donate Life Month and the library has partnered with “Donate Life Missouri” to provide a display and take-away materials and applications. Visit the library during the month of April or www.MissouriOrganDonor.com for more information.
Finally, Daviess County Library will finish out the month of April in partnership with our local 4-H clubs to participate in 4-H National Day of Service. The theme for the day of service is “Food Security Insecurity” and nicely compliments the 2017 Summer Reading Program theme of “Build a Better World.” The two organizations will sponsor a community garden in the lower parking lot beginning with building and planting on Saturday, April 29. More information will follow.
