DESIGNING LIBRARY SPACES FOR DEMENTIA AND SENSORY NEEDS
DESIGNING LIBRARY SPACES FOR DEMENTIA AND SENSORY NEEDS
Libraries are fast-evolving into inclusive, community-centred spaces, and thoughtful design plays a key role. By addressing the needs of individuals with dementia, neurodiverse users, and those with sensory sensitivities, we can create environments that promote dignity, comfort, and engagement for all.
Simple yet impactful strategies, like intuitive signage, reduced visual clutter, sensory-friendly zones, and calming design elements can make a world of difference. Add accessible tech and trained staff, and libraries become truly welcoming spaces where everyone can learn, connect, and thrive.
Accessibility isn’t optional, it’s essential.
