'Sensory Inclusion'

In a library setting, sensory inclusion is particularly impactful. Libraries often evoke a sense of calm, but they can still pose sensory challenges for certain individuals. The quiet hum of activity, occasional loud noises, and the visual stimulation of various displays can all contribute to sensory overload for patrons with sensitivities. By offering Sensory Bags, the Hewitt Public Library enables these individuals to manage their sensory environment more effectively, making the library experience enjoyable rather than stressful.
