Sensory-Friendly Library Spaces with Penn State Libraries
The ALA student chapter will be joined by Brett Spencer and Dawn Amsberry for a discussion covering the definitions, philosophy, and history of neurodiversity and sensory social justice in libraries. We will offer practical examples of how we implemented these ideas through sensory rooms and programs at two Penn State campuses. We will also take you on a tour of our virtual sensory room: please bring a laptop or tablet if you would like to try our some of the virtual fidgets!
