Join us for Adaptive Storytime at the library, a space to foster the early literacy skills of children with neurodiverse symptoms and children who have difficulty engaging during traditional storytimes. We will sing, rhyme, read, and play together with more interactive opportunities. Children with varying learning styles and abilities can learn together in a safe, supportive environment where respect and appreciation for differences is encouraged. Content is geared toward ages 3 - 7 years, but all ages are welcome, accompanied by a caregiver. Siblings are welcome, too.
