Resources Sensory-Friendly Programming: Lessons from Small & Rural Libraries Small and rural libraries are at the forefront of efforts to make communities more inclusive of people who identify as neurodivergent. With the support of the American Library Association’s “Libraries Transforming Communities<https://www.ala.org/tools/librariestransform/libraries-transforming-communi…>” (LTC), they are designing programs that expand access to patrons with sensory sensitivities — including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this blog post<https://programminglibrarian.org/articles/sensory-friendly-programming-less…>, we share what these libraries are learning as they implement sensory-friendly programs. Lessons from their work can inform efforts not only within the library sector, but across a wide variety of cultural and public institutions. How to Add Sensory–Friendly Programs & Resources to Your Library<https://programminglibrarian.org/articles/how-add-sensory-friendly-programs…> is also a useful resource. 3 New videos for storytime (free) with a note from Jim Gill… “Many early childhood professionals tell me that they primarily access music through the “smartboard” or screen in their classrooms. And that they often use YouTube to share music with children. I recently released three new videos<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPIpzCOqQwjTsGAnt14EobTYh4yuoiB8W> on YouTube that I hope will be shared on those screens! You’ll notice that these are different from most videos. Each begins with this message: YOU ARE THE ACTION! I appear only briefly, to introduce each musical game and to emphasize that if everyone listens to the words and listens to the music, they will know exactly how to play along. After my introduction, there is not much to watch. AND THAT IS EXACTLY THE IDEA! My goal is to create classroom music that promotes listening and gives children an opportunity to focus on the words, melodies and rhythms they hear. These videos intentionally challenge children to listen for cues about how and when to join in the play…and to listen for cues about when to stop and wait 😊. I can imagine caring adults, like us, engaging in the play and providing guidance as needed. My goal has always been to promote playful interactions between caring adults and the children they work with and care for. We all know that young children don’t need more time watching screens. But if these screens are the delivery devices for music, I want my ACTIVE musical games—that hone listening skills while promoting joyful engagement—to be shared on those screens. I want to be on everyone’s playlist encouraging children to listen, move and PLAY! I hope you’ll conclude that there is a place for these resources in your classroom circle time or library story time.” For more information on Jim Gill, go to: https://jimgill.com/. Summer Food Services Program There are a couple of different ways that libraries can participate in the SFSP. You can partner with an existing sponsor and become a feeding site, or go to feeding sites and read books to children while they eat. You can also provide information to library patrons about where feeding sites are located in the community. For a site to be eligible to participate in the SFSP, the site must be located in an area where 50% or more of the children living in the attendance area of the closest school are eligible for free and reduced-priced meals during the school year. If you’re interested in becoming a site, contact the SFSP team<https://www.michigan.gov/mde/services/food/summer/topics/contact-us>.
