Tuesday, July 25 at 6:30 p.m. – Gales Ferry Library (in-person only)

The goal of these community conversations is to hear directly from members of our community. What ideas do you have to enhance library services? Would an automatic door opener at the Gales Ferry Library be beneficial? Could the expansion of our Large Print collection better serve those with dyslexia or vision impairments? Does your child prefer a different approach to traditional library programming? Might a series of Sensory Storytimes presented by a certified Music Therapist benefit your child? Please join us to discuss your thoughts and ideas.

This event is offered as part of Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities, an initiative of the American Library Association (ALA) in collaboration with the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL).
