SNAP Sensory Storytime In-Person

The Arlington Public Library welcomes neurodivergent children and families to a non-traditional SNAP* sensory storytime! This 30-45 program aims to provide a safe and inclusive space to children and families that may benefit from sensory inclusive accommodations, such as dim lights, calm environment, sensory toys, and more.

This program includes a structured storytime with a visual schedule, including reading a story and singing, along with various activities, such as art crafts with guided instructions. Families are also welcome to browse through selected books at their own pace.

This program is designed for ages 2-5, physically and developmentally, and is free and open to the public. Registration is required and limited to 10 families to maintain an accommodating space. Please register for the program by email at LIBYouthServices@arlingtontx.gov.

Space and supplies are first come, first served. If you have any questions, please contact us at (817) 459-6900 or by email at LIBYouthServices@arlingtontx.gov

Thank you to the Friends and Foundation of the Arlington Public Library for their generous support of our programming.
