Books and Blocks was designed for children who find typical library programs difficult. Books and Blocks is a “hands on,” multi- sensory program arranged in toy stations for use by the children. Toys provided by Assistive Technology of Ohio (www.atohio.org [4]) are available in the program. A half hour is allowed to visit the play stations while teen volunteers assist in play, reading to children one on one and interacting with the children. Parents participate with their children and enjoy some social time with other parents. Social skills and early literacy skills are objectives of the program as well. After play, children help clean up the toys and prepare for a light snack. Following is a short story and an activity related to the story. The ending is known as "circle time". Parents and children make a large circle and participate in movement actions to music routinely. No registration is necessary. Please feel free to visit us.
