💜 A Little Extra Comfort at Your Library 💜

Did you know that the Idabel Public Library has a variety of sensory support items available for anyone who may benefit from them while visiting us? We want our library to be a welcoming, comfortable, and inclusive place for everyone. 📚✨

Our sensory collection includes items such as noise-canceling headphones, fidget toys, sensory balls, calming bottles, worry stones, and more. Whether you need something to help with focus, reduce distractions, or simply provide a little extra comfort while you enjoy your time at the library, we’re happy to help. 🧩🎧💙

You’ll find our sensory items behind the Circulation Desk. All you need to do is ask a staff member and sign out the item(s) you’d like to use. Take them with you while you visit, then simply return them to the Circulation Desk before you leave.

No special explanation is needed, and there’s no need to feel hesitant about asking. If a sensory item helps make your library visit more comfortable, we want you to use it! 💜

We’re here for our whole community, and we’re always looking for ways to make the library a place where everyone feels welcome. 🌈📖

Nelda Villines spoke to us today about her adventures across the African continent, sharing with us some of the gorgeous handmade items she'd purchased, the villages and people she supports through her philanthropic endeavors, and all various wildlife she encountered in her travels. It was highly entertaining!

Ms. Villines donated a book to us, so look for that on the shelves in the coming weeks.

If you missed seeing the author today, she'll be at the Broken Bow Oklahoma Public Library tomorrow. For the exact time, call them at 866-218-6582. We promise you'll be glad you did!
