Sensory-Friendly Libraries: Building Spaces & Building Belonging sites.psu.edu/sensoryfr…
“Welcome to the project site for the sensory-friendly library initiative at the Penn State Libraries! Our hope is to build sensory rooms in our libraries for all of our students to use for the benefit of their wellness, with a special emphasis on creating a culture of support for neurodiverse students with severe sensory needs (Penn State News Release). We are also building a Virtual Sensory Room (https://sites.psu.edu/virtualsensoryroom/) that anyone is welcome to visit. The goal is to move our libraries closer to sensory social justice, the ideal that each individual should be able to modulate the flow of information from the environment in ways that optimize their cognitive processing and well-being.”
