New Sensory-Friendly Hours Begin Saturday At The Molino Library

January 3, 2025

The Molino Library will begin offering monthly sensory-friendly browsing hours beginning Saturday, January 4.

Sensory Saturdays are designed to provide a safe and friendly environment for individuals who are neurodivergent and/or have special needs and their families.

The special hours will be on the first Saturday of the month at the Molino Library from 8-10 a.m. A sensory room will be open from 8-11 a.m. filled with comfortable seating, sensory activities, toys, engaging fidgets, and fun brain games. Users can come and go as they please.

The library opens for everyone as usual at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

Additionally, WFPL now has Sensory Tool Kits and Calm Corner kits available every day for patrons to check out.

The sensory hours will also be available at the Tryon Library on the second Saturday of the month beginning in January and at the Bellview Library on third Saturdays beginning in February.
