Getting ready forAdaptive Storytime at the LINC library.
Greeley's LINC library runs an adaptive storytime with movement, music and stories, then an hour of low sensory play upstairs in the Discovery Hub. On other days, it names a quiet reading room and an atrium by the fireplace.
“Adaptive Storytime and Discovery Hub Hour is a time and space to foster the learning and exploration of neurodivergent children or children who benefit from multisensory experiences.” It “incorporates movement, music, and stories, and concludes with an hour of low sensory time for exploration and play upstairs in the Discovery Hub.”
“For a quieter experience, patrons can enjoy the atrium with an indoor/door fireplace or the quiet reading room.” mylibrary.us
The adaptive storytime is on Sunday Nov 22 and Sunday Dec 13. Registration opens two weeks ahead at 11:30 am, so set a reminder for that morning.
The library itself opens at 1 pm on Sundays, so the storytime happens before the doors open to everyone. Call 1-888-861-7323 before your first visit to ask which door to use.
On any other day, the quiet reading room and the atrium by the fireplace are the calm spots the library names.

The Storytime Room is in the Children's Library, through a hobbit door. The gaming room for older kids and teens is next door to the Children's Library.
The mezzanine has a hands-on children's exhibit that connects to a two-story interactive installation.
The library's LINC page has a virtual tour, a good way to show your kid the building before you go.
