Sensory
Safe
Space
ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH from 10:00am - 5:00pm
During the Atomic Fall Fest, the Children's Room at the Oak Ridge Public Library will be designated a SENSORY SAFE SPACE. This area will be designed to accommodate festival goers who need a low-stimulation space to rest and recharge. In this area, we will encourage quiet play, provide calming tools, and designate cozy corners.
A busy festival can be overwhelming, so the Children's Room will offer a respite from the activity with reduced noise & lighting, quiet zones, sensory tools, and trained staff.
​
The Library would like to thank the folks at Xander's Place for providing the necessary accommodations and staff to help create the Sensory Safe Space.
