Quiet Tuesdays in Cabinteely Library

Our aim is to make dlr Libraries an even friendlier and more accessible place to everyone in our community. Libraries are often the bustling heart of our communities with lots going on at any given time, from events to book clubs not to mention beeps from IT equipment. We are aware for some members of our community the noise and sensory overload in many public places, even libraries, can be overwhelming.

In Cabinteely Library, we are learning different ways in which we can make the library more accessible to all of our users. On Tuesday evenings we will have:

•          Reduced lighting
