The Clay County Public Library System has partnered with KultureCity® to improve our ability to assist and accommodate patrons with sensory needs. We strive to raise awareness of the needs and challenges faced by individuals with sensory processing disorders by supplying our staff with continuous training and offering the resources and accommodations below to our patrons. 

Sensory Bags are available for use at all of our libraries. These can be used inside the library for as long as the individual needs, but cannot be taken outside the library. Each Sensory Bag contains:

• noise reducing headphones

• fidget tools

• a visual cue card

• a KultureCity® VIP lanyard (optional to wear)

Branches will also have a weighted lap pad available upon request. 

Each Library will have a designated Quiet Zone(s) for those who may need a quieter and more secure environment. Signage reading "Headphone Zone" will also be posted in areas that tend to have increased noise levels. 

We pledge to create more sensory friendly programming and events. To help make these events and programs easily searchable, we've included the Event Category "Sensory Friendly" in our online calendar.
