Sensory Backpacks Now Available at the Ocean County Library

TOMS RIVER – Sensory backpacks are now available for customers at all Ocean County Library branches to use during their visits. Sensory backpacks are an important way to support neurodiverse individuals, and to improve access to the Library.

Items designed for various sensory needs are inside the backpack, including a weighted blanket, wiggle cushion, noise-canceling headphones, sensory bracelets, fidget toys, therapy tangles and emoji emotion cards. Contents at each branch may vary. 

Sensory Backpacks are designed to enhance your Library experience. The Ocean County Library is strongly committed to a welcoming, inclusive environment for all members of our community.
