Join the St. Louis Public Library for a sensory-friendly story time for children ages 3-9 with autism and sensory needs. Stories are read aloud in a safe space in the library's lower level auditorium where children can experience story time in their own way.
Story time is from 10:30 to 11 a.m. followed by play time where kids can make crafts and play with fidget toys.
