Sensory Friendly Movie Mondays
Join Accessibility Services on Mondays at 11am for a sensory friendly movie experience for adults (18+) with special needs. The lights will be dimmed, closed captions displayed, and fidget activities are provided. Movies will be shown in the Switzer Library Community Room; doors open at 10:45am. Registration is required.
Maximum capacity for each movie showing is limited to 40 patrons to provide the most sensory friendly experience possible.
Due to the limited capacity, walk-ins are not guaranteed program entry.
