Creating more inclusive spaces in our libraries to meet the diverse needs of our users and support them to thrive.
With soothing lighting, comfortable seating, and a range of sensory tools, the sensory rooms are here to help you recharge, refocus, and feel at ease, whether you need a moment of quiet or a break from sensory overload.
The Rest Nest is our new wellbeing room, offering a space to quietly unwind and recharge away from studies. Here you'll find comfortable seating and adjustable lighting, with decoration and accessories to help you relax. There’s also a dedicated corner to learn about crafting, as well as a book swap.
