Foundations of Sensory Play in Libraries

March 19, 2026

What is sensory programming? Who is it for? Why does it matter in library spaces? If you’ve ever asked these questions—or if you’re looking for a refresher with fresh ideas—this session is for you. Join us for Foundations of Sensory Play in Libraries, an engaging introduction (and reintroduction!) to the building blocks of sensory play and how we can introduce this into our libraries. We’ll cover what sensory programming is, who it supports, and why it's vital to creating inclusive, welcoming library environments. Whether you’re brand new or have been offering sensory programs for years, you’ll gain practical tips, updated best practices, and new activity ideas to strengthen and enhance your work. This event is co-sponsored by Eastern Shore Regional Library Association (ESRL).
