Library member Sarah Fremeth turned 100 and her family dedicated sensor panels to childhood corner

Thanks to a generous donation in centenarian Sarah Fremeth’s name, new sensory panels were
added to the early childhood corner of our CSL Public Library.

Sensory panels are bright, colourful, and stimulating for young children. Through visuals, touch, and sound, they engage the senses. They also help develop motor skills, balance, hand-eye coordination, and visual processing, which are all essential for young childrens' development. Through these toys which are designed to develop essential skills, children can also begin to learn about colour, pattern, gravity, and develop spatial reasoning.

Sarah Fremeth is congratulated by librarian Antonella Lalli.

 

Sensory panels are beneficial for all children, but they are also wonderful for children with
sensory disabilities and children with autism. They can be very engaging for children who are
particularly sensitive to colour, sound, touch, etc. Sensory panels can help them learn about
their senses in a way that feels safe and comfortable for them.

It was an extra special gathering that day with group member Sarah Fremeth. In October, she
turned 100 and the group planned to throw her a small birthday party. Chief Librarian Janine West had arranged for the mayor to present her with a special framed commemorative certificate. Unfortunately, she was hospitalized days before the October date and was not well enough to attend until now.

We were finally able to present it to her in February.

ont été ajoutés au coin réservé à la petite enfance de notre bibliothèque publique CSL.

Les panneaux sensoriels sont lumineux, colorés et stimulants pour les jeunes enfants. Par le biais de l'image, du toucher et du son, ils éveillent les sens. Ils contribuent également au développement de la motricité, de l'équilibre, de la coordination main-œil et du traitement visuel, qui sont tous essentiels au développement des jeunes enfants. Grâce à ces jouets conçus pour développer des compétences essentielles, les enfants peuvent également commencer à apprendre les couleurs, les motifs, la gravité et à développer un raisonnement spatial.

Les panneaux sensoriels sont bénéfiques pour tous les enfants, mais ils sont également formidables pour les enfants souffrant de handicaps sensoriels et les enfants autistes.

En octobre, elle a eu 100 ans et le groupe avait prévu de lui organiser une petite fête d'anniversaire. La bibliothécaire en chef Janine West s'était arrangée pour que le maire lui remette un certificat commémoratif encadré. Malheureusement, elle a été hospitalisée quelques jours avant la date prévue et n'a pas été suffisamment rétablie pour assister à la fête.

Nous avons finalement pu lui remettre le certificat en février.
