We welcome neurodiversity in all of our library programs. If you have questions about any of our programs or would like to talk about possible accommodations, please reach out to us. We also offer programs especially for neurodivergent kids, teens, and adults!
Sensory Story Time
Sensory story time is a program that thoughtfully considers the developmental needs of children on the Autism Spectrum but welcomes all children to participate. Families enjoy playtime, songs, stories, and a craft in a safe and accepting environment. For ages 3-7 with a caregiver. No registration is required.
Sensory Story Time usually occurs one Saturday a month at 10:00am and one Thursday a month at 6:30pm during the school year.
Neurodiversity Club
Kids and teens in grades K-12 who are neurodivergent, plus their friends and families, are invited to join us at Neurodiversity Club. Have fun and make connections in a welcoming environment. Choose from various self-directed activity stations – do a craft, play a game, build with Legos, dance to music, and more. Please register everyone who will be attending, so we know who to expect!
