Canceled June 10. Message from Maria Cotto:

The meeting for June at the North Providence Union Free Library has been canceled. We realize that June is an extremely busy month with the Summer Reading Program around the corner and librarians taking vacation time. We will plan our next meeting for September at the same location. I will send out a reminder as we get closer. Thank you everyone.

Join fellow youth services librarians to share best practices for sensory story times and inclusive library programs and services. We will be discussing community connections, sensory activity ideas, and programs/services beyond story time.

Please bring your PR materials for your library's upcoming sensory programs so that the group can help with promotion!

Agenda: TBA

All materials and ideas generated from this meeting will be collected on the Children's Sensory Story Time Support Group LibGuide.

The Sensory Story Time Support Group is a grassroots community of practice developed and faciliated by Maria Cotto at the Pawtucket Public Library and Babs Wells at the Greenville Public Library. The Sensory Storytime Support Group seeks to empower youth services librarians to better serve children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families by expanding programming, outreach, partnerships, and resources that welcome all abilities.
