4. Gentle Storytime will be held on Sunday, November 14th, at 3:30 PM, with an optional Free Play period from 3:00 - 3:30 PM.

   Public libraries can be a powerful partner in education, socialization, and literacy for families with children on the autism spectrum or with multi-sensory needs. Southern Pines Public Library's Sensory Storytimes and their impact on these families is an example of a library rethinking its approach to being a welcoming and inclusive venue.

   Our goals for this storytime are to:

   -Provide free, inclusive, interactive programming that welcomes children of all abilities ages 3-8

   -Combine books, songs, movement, and integrative activities into a program that stimulates the five senses

   -Offer children a variety of ways to process the information being presented

   -Connect families with community organizations that offer services and resources for families of children with autism and sensory integration challenges
