Sensory Spaces

Sensory Spaces are Metro area libraries offering special hours for members of the public who appreciate a sensory-friendly environment. (Click here for more details and check out the metro schedule.) 

What are some of the things you can expect at this Sensory Spaces event? 

• The library will have ear plugs, ear coverings, and more available for those who experience sensory defensiveness. 
• The lighting will be reduced throughout the library and there will be areas for noise and quiet. 
• In Meeting Room B we will have either a sensory-friendly storytime or sensory play that includes a craft, toys, and more. 
• A therapy animal will be available for attendees to take a moment to socialize with in the Magazine/ Reading Room.
• In Meeting Room A organizations serving as critical supports in our community have been invited to attend the event to share information regarding their services.
• As always our friendly staff will be on hand to answer questions and help you utilize any of the regular resources that we offer including using a computer and checking out material.
