Red Hook Public Library’s All Abilities Kids Storytime continues in October on the first and third Fridays of the month: Oct. 5 & Oct 19. Inspired by sensory storytimes at libraries and schools across the country, All Abilities Kids Storytime is adaptive with stories told through multiple modalities and optional interactive elements. Using a visual schedule, we will have a story and craft, as well as movement and song activities.

The activities at All Abilities Kids Storytimes are planned with the needs of children and teens with developmental, cognitive and/or intellectual disabilities in mind. As parents and caregivers are the best judges of their children’s interests and abilities, All Abilities Kids is open to anyone under 18. The third-floor Community Room offers a quiet environment with reduced sensory stimuli.

This program is free and open to the public with advanced registration required as space is limited. As at all RHPL Storytimes, every child must have a parent or caregiver in attendance.  If you’ve been hesitant to try story time with your child, give All Abilities Kids a try. For more information call the library and speak to Amy: 845-758-3241.
