Spring has sprung here in Harris County, and along with the birds twittering, you may have your thoughts turning to poetry for National Poetry Month. Our Gabbing with the Librarians have you covered. It is also Autism Acceptance month. This yearly advocacy month has changed since it began in 1970, and we're honored to have individuals speak with us about awareness and acceptance of Autistic lives. We'll also share book reviews from our community and resources in our Harris County Public Library collection to support Autistic individuals and their families.
