Book fair planning under way; Girl Scout launches sensory-support project
Summary
Organizers reported book fair preparations with 10x10 table spaces for $15 and described Girl Scout Emily Marion's Gold Award project to support sensory-friendly reading sessions for children, with plans for monthly Saturday gatherings.
Resident 3 described preparations for an upcoming book fair and a related community outreach project led by a Girl Scout working on her Gold Award. Resident 3 said table spaces are 10-by-10 and available for $15, and that two vendors had already signed up: "table spaces for a 10 by 10 space for $15. And we've got 2 people so far."
Resident 3 also said Girl Scout Emily Marion visited to pilot monthly Saturday sessions focused on sensory needs — offering quieter spaces, headphones, and packets to help children follow stories. The attendee noted the pilot worked well with small groups and that volunteers like Deb Flint helped as a reader and facilitator. Organizers said they will monitor participation as they plan future monthly sessions.
