Family Movies: Sensory-Friendly

Sensory-Friendly Family Movies at the Lewisville Branch Library:

Everyone is welcome at these sensory-friendly films. The movies will be shown in the Lewisville Branch Library's auditorium with low lighting (dim lights will remain on). The sound will be on, but turned down so that it is not too loud. English subtitles will be turned on. You are free to move around and make noise during the films in a judgement-free zone. Families are permitted to bring their own snacks from home. You may bring blankets to lie on if you wish, but chairs will be provided.

Visual schedules will be available.
