Sensory help, in the library's words

“Every Fort Worth Public Library offers accessibility toolkits for guests of all ages. Accessibility toolkits can help guests with sensory needs feel more comfortable and engaged during their visit. Ask the front desk or a staff member for assistance!”

“All Fort Worth Public Libraries offer communication boards to help individuals with limited verbal skills.”

“Join us for stories, songs, and activities in an accommodating setting. This story time is designed for children ages 3-5 on the autism spectrum, or those who have similar sensory processing needs, as well as their grownups.” fortworthtexas.libcal.com

  • The toolkits and communication boards are at every Fort Worth Public Library, not only on story time days.
  • Sensory Story Time runs at five libraries on the dates below. The library's events calendar lists the newest dates under Adaptive & Sensory.
