SNAP Storytime In-Person

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

Each session of SNAP* Sensory Storytime features a structured storytime with a visual schedule, including reading a story, singing, a time for dancing or playing along followed by a time for free play with sensory exploration toys.

Families are also welcome to browse through a curated selection of 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 strongly suggested as this program is 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.

* Supporting Neurodivergent Access to Programming:

SNAP programs are sensory-friendly and targeted toward the needs of neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and their families/caregivers. Neurodivergent includes autism spectrum disorder, ADD/ADHD, Tourette’s and other developmental and learning disabilities.

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