Join us for a special sensory-friendly hour at the library, held before public hours.
This dedicated time is designed to offer a quieter, calmer library experience for children, teens, and adults with sensory sensitivities, along with their families or guardians.
The library will be open only to registered participants during this hour, providing a safe, low-stimulation environment to browse, read, use the computers and explore before regular public hours begin.
Join our friends from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School for a workshop on feelings and mental health, social media, and how these topics are related. Learn some strategies for navigating tough feelings or difficult friend (or frenemy) situations, and wrap up with a plan for how you can use social media while staying safe and grounded.
Ohhh!!! And enjoy some ice cream while we chat, because what makes an awkward conversation easier than having a frozen dessert to literally "break the ice" with?
For tweens and teens in 3rd grade and up.
