Center Street Branch

Community Room

Saturday mornings from 10-11 am

This special story time is for kids who may be on the autism spectrum, have sensory-related needs, or feel overwhelmed by noises and crowds. We will follow a predictable routine of stories, activities, and play. Some fidget toys and soothing items will be provided, and families are encouraged to bring any accessories or toys that help their child feel comfortable.

This program will be held in the community room or in a quiet corner of the children's room.
