Sensory Storytimes at Springville Road Library
by Mollie McFarland, Springville Road Regional Branch Library
We love storytime here at the Springville Road Library. It’s one of our favorite times! We love the songs, crafts, stories, and dancing. But we wanted to shake things up and offer a new experience to our patrons. We especially want to reach out to those on the autism spectrum who may want a change from the classic storytime format. We have begun offering sensory storytimes as a way to include everyone!
Sensory storytimes differ from regular storytimes in that we offer less sitting and more moving, a flexible format, and we focus on a hands-on playtime after the stories. Children are encouraged to interact with different manipulatives every week. Sometimes we’re playing in sand or bubbles or paint or slime. There is something for everyone.
This is a great opportunity for children of all different developmental backgrounds to learn and grow together at the library. Our storytimes are held on Wednesday mornings at 10:00. Please call us at 226-4085 if you’d like to know more information.
