A sensory-friendly program with stories, activities, & more!

This program is designed for children ages 3-8 with autism spectrum disorders, sensory integration issues, other developmental disabilities, and their typically developing peers. If attending one of our other storytimes is challenging for your child, this program of stories, songs, and activities with visual supports and an expected routine might be just what you are looking for! Contact our children's librarians (cr@mhl.org) if you have questions about this storytime or would like a social story to help you prepare for your visit. Please register children and adults.

If you are no longer able to attend, please cancel your registration so we can accommodate other families.
