🌟 SENSORY FRIENDLY LIBRARY HOUR 🌟

Beginning in June, the library will open early on the first Saturday of each month from 9:00 AM–10:00 AM for a Sensory Friendly Library Hour.

This dedicated hour is intended for individuals and families with sensory and/or neurodivergent needs to check out books, browse, use computers, or just spend time in the library.

During this time, we will offer:
📚 Softer lighting (some lights turned off to reduce brightness)
🎧 Noise-canceling headphones available to borrow (limited quantity)
💛 A welcoming space where movement, stimming, and vocalizing are expected and welcome.

This hour is open to all ages, whether you're 5 or 55. No registration is required.

We are excited for our upcoming Spa-Tacular You event and are looking for a few additional items to help make the day extra special!

We are currently looking to borrow an outdoor tent with walls for September 10th that could accommodate around 20–25 people. If you or someone you know can help, please give us a call at 574-848-7458.

We are also welcoming small giveaway donations in quantities of 100, such as pocket-size tissues, facial masks, chapstick, nail polish, or other self-care items for attendees to enjoy.

We truly appreciate everyone who helps support library programs and events for our community!
