GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The number one goal as a library is to provide information and access for everyone, which is why the Kent District Library (KDL) has unveiled a new feature to ensure any and everyone can visit the library comfortably.
KDL now has "Sensory Packs." Each pack is a bag, and inside are items that can help someone who may need sensory accommodations. Things like a weighted shoulder wrap, a weighted lap pad, noise cancelling headphones, stress balls, puzzle balls and other fidgets.
Anyone can request to use a pack and they don't need to be checked out either, so a library card is not required to use them.
