## About

An inclusive, modified storytime for children ages 2–11 with sensory processing needs, including neurodivergence, autism and disabilities: lighting and music are lower, movement and conversation are encouraged, and children engage through the senses. No registration; first-come seating in the Quincy Room, and the library asks that only families with sensory needs attend.
