Roving Autism Resource Library
Pretending to be Normal
In partnership with Fife Council Community Services, Libraries,
we provide RARL (Fife's Roving Autism Resource Library) which comprises a selection
of relevant titles and information leaflets with an easily identifiable logo. This ground breaking initiative is the first partnership
of its kind.
RARL will move between selected Fife libraries, remaining at each one for up
to four months. We hope it will help to raise general public awareness
and provide practical information and support for the people throughout Fife.
The updated Roving Autism Resource Library was launched on Thursday 27th May 2004 in Dunfermline Carnegie Library, along with the Autism Fife information folders. Invitations with details of RARL timetable for 2004-06 will be forwarded to members soon. It is to include a visit to Kincardine and St Andrews.
This service is available to public library members in Fife, Scotland. Click here to learn how to join.
