'Now I See' - a good resource for local libraries

Does your local library have Now I See, which was released for World Down Syndrome Day in March this year? You can always ask that your library add particular titles to their collection - putting in a request is an easy and effective way of promoting your community's resources about people with Down syndrome for Down Syndrome Awareness Week, in October. Here's an article about one Melbourne suburban council's commitment to provide copies in all of their libraries:

The upside of Down
Neil Walker, The Bayside News, 19th March 2014
... (Phil Wall's) memory of that day is vividly described in a new book entitled Now I See, compiled by Carolyn McDiarmid and Angela Blakston. Mr Wall’s family story called Surprise, Surprise is one of 50 in the book, written by parents and grandparents of children with Down syndrome ... Kingston City Council has agreed to buy copies to be made available at all Kingston libraries.

Down Syndrome NSW members can borrow a copy of now I See from the library:
