Donations for this pantry may be dropped off at the circulation desk.
Sensory Friendly Library
Red Jacket Community Library (RJCL) is pleased to announce the arrival of our new Sensory Kits. The Rochester Regional Library Council and Friends (RRLC) & Foundation of the Rochester Public Library (FFRPL) awarded a grant from the Harold Hacker Fund for the Advancement of Libraries to make creation of these kits possible.
Three Sensory Kits were created, two of the sensory kits are for children and one kit is geared towards adults. Each kit contains a noise reduction headset, multiple fidgets, sunglasses, a sensory bottle, and a timer. The children’s kits also include a set of communication cards. These kits are available at the circulation desk to be checked out for in-library use.
In addition to the sensory kits, RJCL was also able to purchase other items to create a more sensory friendly environment within the library. Such items include fluorescent lighting covers, fidgets, liquid floor tiles, a sensory den with pillows, and a weighted lap pad for sensory breaks. Materials to further enhance the accessibility of programming, such as our currently running Sensory Playtime program, includes toddler-safe sensory bin manipulatives, a manipulative cleaning bin set, and four wiggle seats.
