Do you think Special Needs Families are a little anxious about the word “storytime” (or “story times”)? I’m wondering if, even though in publicity it says the program is for Special Needs Families and therefore implies the librarian “gets it” if families are reluctant to come because they think a storytime means their children are expected to sit quietly and listen and knowing the children can’t do that, don’t come to storytime? I’m asking because for my upcoming special needs storytimes I’ve thrown out the word “storytime.” I’m trying to see if it makes a difference.

That’s a great idea, Molly. I’m curious to see how it works out. What are you calling the program instead?
