Mr. Damien Brady:

I am responsible for managing Limerick city and county library service. We strive to make our libraries places of welcome, interest and experience for all our citizens. The central vision of the current Limerick Libraries development plan is to offer attractive, welcoming space to enable all members of the community to access knowledge, ideas and experiences. From 2018 we have actively sought to develop autism and neurodiverse friendly library services for both young people and adults in response to the need in the community. This presentation from Patricia Cusack, executive librarian at Watch House Cross library, Moyross, Limerick, steps through the development to date of Limerick Libraries' autism-friendly service. I will now hand over to Ms Cusack.
