Sensory Time @LAU

Looking for a sensory-friendly, inclusive library experience? Join us for a program specially created for individuals with special needs, along with their families and caregivers.

What to Expect:

  • Stories
  • Hands-on sensory activities
  • A calm, low-distraction environment
  • Access to a designated Chill Zone

We welcome individuals of all ages and abilities and strive to create a warm, supportive space for everyone.

 

 Please Note:

This is a special event for individuals with special needs and their caregivers.

This is not a drop-off event—parents or caregivers must remain in the library at all times.

Come explore the world with us—just in a different way!
