“Join us for stories, songs, and play! Sensory Storytime is for all children and all abilities.”
“This program will require registration to attend. Registration is free and available on a first-come, first served basis through the library’s website.”
“a separate Quiet Room is available at each branch to provide patrons a more tranquil alternative to the main areas.” forsythpl.org (library policies)
Every Sensory Storytime on the cards is at 10 am on a Monday in the Cumming Meeting Room, and each date has its own registration page.
The Quiet Room is a quiet study room, not a sensory room: people inside are asked not to talk at all and to silence phones and devices. Keep that in mind before you bring a kid who needs to make sound.
