1 Calming Space Social Narrative A social narrative for using the Galaxie Library Calming Space
2 Calming Space This is the Calming Space at Galaxie Library. This story is about what I can expect when I use this room at the library.
3 The Library The library is a public place. Sometimes, the library can be crowded and loud.
4 Staying Calm Staying calm at the library helps me to enjoy my visit. It makes me feel happy, which makes other people around me happy too. If I start having other feelings, I can take a break. These other feelings might be frustrated, scared, anxious, sad, nervous, or overwhelmed. I can take a break in the Calming Space until I feel calm again.
5 Accessibility Kit If I have these feelings, there are tools I can use while I am in the library to feel calm. If I want to use noise-reducing headphones, sunglasses, fidgets, or other supports while I am in the library, I can ask a librarian at the desk for the Library s Accessibility Kit. When I done using them, I can return them to the librarian at the desk.
6 Finding the Calming Space If I am looking for a place to calm down in the library, I can take a break and use the Calming Space. The Calming Space is near the Children s Area. A librarian can help me find the Calming Space if I do not know where it is.
7 Entering the Room When I get to the Calming Space, I will look in the window to see if the room is free. If there is someone in the Calming Space when I want to use it, I can ask a librarian to use a study room instead. If there is no one using the room, I can open the door and take a break.
8 Calming Space Guidelines There are guidelines I need to follow when I am in the Calming Space. These guidelines help everyone stay calm and safe when they are in this room. I can find these guidelines posted on the wall of the Calming Space.
9 Calming Space Guide There are many things in the Calming Space that will help me feel calm again. I can use the Calming Space Guide to help me learn about all of the things that are available for me to use. Everything in this room is here to help me feel calm. This guide will help me find what I need and where it is stored. Everything in the Calming Space is stored in their proper place so that it is easy to find for everyone.
10 Selecting and Using My Tools Once I have found what I need to help me be calm, I can use it until I feel calm again. I can choose more than one tool to help me feel calm. These tools are for everyone at the library to use to help everyone be calm. Everything I find in this room must stay in this room at all times. I will be gentle and careful when using the items in this room.
11 Lights I can change how much light is in the room by finding the light switch. I can turn on the lights on, off, or dimmed.
12 Comfortable Chair This room has a large bean bag chair for me to sit in.
13 Timers If I need help waiting, I can use a timer to help me be patient and wait. I can ask a librarian to help me determine how long I need to wait until it s my turn.
14 Visual Schedules & Supports I can use pictures or a 5 Point Scale to help me be calm.
15 Headphones I can use headphones to make the room quieter.
16 Noise Machine If I want to listen to different noises, I can use the noise machine. There are 10 different noises for me to choose from.
17 Putting Everything Away When I am calm again and ready to leave the Calming Space, I will put everything away where I found it. I can clean things off with a cleansing cloth. I can use the Calming Space Guide to help me learn where things go. When I am done putting everything away, I will leave the room, turn the lights off, and shut the door.
18 Feeling Calm Feeling calm helps me enjoy my visit to the library. My family is proud of me when I am calm at the library.
