We understand that large groups in a storytime can be overwhelming for some of our patrons. So we have partnered with Share, who work with Special Needs families in the Permian Basin for a Sensory Friendly Storytime with a couple of books, a few songs, and craft or sensory toys to play with after storytime. We will also have a calming room set aside for those that get overstimulated. Location: 3rd Floor Auditorium
