Library and CASE Present 2nd Special Needs Resource Fair

The Evanston Public Library and Citizens for Appropriate Special Education (CASE) will hold their 2nd Special Needs Resource Fair for parents and caregivers of children with special needs on Saturday, November 5 from 11am to 3pm. Visitors to the resource fair can meet with about 40 local clinicians and agencies whose work serves and supports children with special needs. Information will be available from these organizations along with valuable time for answering questions.
