"UNIVERSAL DESIGN : Programs That Meet the Needs of All Children "
The Brooklyn Public Library runs a range of inclusive programs for children with and without disabiltiies.
The co-ordinator of the service is Carrie Banks. Carrie is an absolute wealth of knowledge and experience in the area of access to public libraries for children with disabilities.
I will be visiting Carrie and the Brooklyn Library on a number of occasions to learn more about their programs.
Some of the programs they run are:
After school storytime
Weekend programs
Read and play
Parenting workshops
Class visits
Hospital storytelling
Garden club
Teen time for all
