NMIT Library Lights It Up Blue for World Autism Awareness Day 2nd April 2014

NMIT Library helps shine the light on Autism Awareness.
Today is World Autism Awareness Day!
A day where we recognise all individuals on the autism spectrum and the families and friends who love them.
Each April 2, Autism Speaks celebrates Light It Up Blue along with the international autism community, in commemoration of the United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day. Light It Up Blue is a unique global initiative that kicks-off Autism Awareness Month and helps raise awareness about autism. In honor of this historic day, many iconic landmarks, hotels, sporting venues, concert halls, museums, bridges and retail stores are among the hundreds of thousands of homes and communities that take part to Light It Up Blue.
Tonight, our iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge will Light It Up Blue for the cause.
