Ages 2-8. Sensory Storytime for children with Autism or other special needs and their families. This sensory-sensitive program will engage children through stories, music, rhymes, and more! A portion of each session will be dedicated to sensory enriching activities and socialization.
Children and their parent/caregiver can pick up tickets at the second floor Youth Services desk beginning 30 minutes prior to the program. Families are encouraged to attend together. We understand that a child's special needs might make a trip upstairs for a ticket difficult. Please let us know if we can help create an easier experience for your family.
The 1501 Ellinwood Street library building is the realization of a longheld dream of the library board, staff and community partners. Located in the heart of downtown Des Plaines, the four story, 82,000 square foot building represents the community's commitment to reading, lifelong learning, and a center for family activities. A grand central staircase and large windows provide a wealth of natural light and illuminate the building at night.
