The Rotary Club of Greece Literacy Committee supports the Greece Public Library Sensory Backpack program

Each backpack kit has a theme; weight, fidgets, calming, auditory processing, emotions and resistance, with objects and books geared specifically towards that topic.

For example, the calming backpack includes a weighted stuffed puppy scented with lavender and able to be microwaved for warmth, a battery-operated night light that projects stars, planets, and lights on the ceiling/walls, liquid bubble timers, and mindfulness mazes that help teach guided mediation breathing.

Each bag also has a helpful information guide that is laminated and suggests ways to use the items included with the kit.

“I cannot thank the Rotary Club of Greece enough for their support in bringing these kits to life. I know the backpacks will be enjoyed and cherished by countless children in this community,” said Jenna Wygal, MS-ILS, Greece Public Library, Children’s Senior Library Assistant.
