SSLDL Sensory Collection

SSLDL has been awarded a $10,000 Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities grant to create a sensory support collection for adults, teens and children with sensory processing concerns. We sought this grant because we recognize that sensory sensitivity can interfere with a person's ability to equitably use public spaces and accomplish tasks. Items purchased with this grant are meant to make the library a more comfortable place. This collection may include alternate seating, items for in-house use and check-out. We are seeking community input to help guide the scope and composition of this collection. Please share your thoughts with us. This survey includes 12 questions.  

The library will also be hosting a Community Conversation about the sensory collection on May 29 from 5:30-6:30. Please register on our website if you would like to join us.
