Autism and asperger's charity donates books to Wokingham Borough Libraries
A Wokingham Borough voluntary group that helps families with members with Autism Spectrum Disorders has donated books about autism and Asperger’s syndrome to the borough’s libraries.
ASD Family Help, an independent voluntary group that gives advice and support to families with adults or children on the autistic spectrum, has given the books to the Wokingham council’s library service, which will place the main collection of books in Woodley Library (owing to its proximity to Addington Special School) and some books in Wokingham library.
Wokingham Borough Council collection development officer Sarah Barrett said: “It is always great when the borough council can work with a charity and these books will provide important information and help to families who really need it. I am grateful to the charity for the books and pleased we will be able to bring them to a wider audience.”
ASD Family Help (which is also known as Wokingham Autistic Spectrum Parents) holds regular meeting for families to discuss problems and share accurate information.
Cathy Fastnedge, chairman of ASD Family Help, said: “Our aim is to try to make information more accessible, for both the families and the wider community. We are very happy to be able to work with the library service to make some books available to people in the borough, through their local library service”
