Social Stories

Social stories are learning tools that share social information with a person in a respectful and positive way, usually surrounding an idea, expectations of others, and strategies to try while engaging in everyday life events such as a trip to the library.

The Duluth Public Library and Minnesota Masonic Children’s Clinic for Communication Disorders have collaborated to create these resources in an effort to help all individuals to successfully access the many opportunities, services, and materials the Duluth Public Library has to offer.

Social stories for the Main Library and West Duluth locations are being developed. They will be added to this page when completed.

Mount Royal Customizable Schedule

The Customizable Schedule allows a caregiver to create a visual schedule for the Mount Royal Branch Library to include only what will happen for that visit. You can cut apart the pictures and put them in the order you want to show your child what you are going to do at the library.
