Sensory Hour<br />
Mondays, 5–6pm<br />
Redwood Library<br />
Sensory Hour is aimed specifically<br />
at children and adults with sensory<br />
sensitivities, who may experience<br />
difficulties using a large, busy library<br />
with lots of noise, lights and people.<br />
They may be easily distracted by their<br />
external environment and find it hard<br />
to focus and concentrate. During our<br />
sensory hour, we will be turning off<br />
the artificial lighting and minimizing<br />
the activities happening in the library.<br />
Library staff will be available, but will<br />
maintain a low profile.<br />
