We are looking at ways to make the library more accessible for families with additional support needs. As part of this we have put together a social story to make it easier to know what to expect when visiting us at Granton library!
We have a hardcopy available in the library if you want to look at it when you come.
We also have a visual timetable that you can borrow during your visit.
We’re still in the early days of this process so we very much welcome any feedback on what we can do better and what would be helpful to make a library visit more accessible!

Men With Pens is a series of creative writing and letter writing workshops for men living with mental health conditions.
Working with groups in Perth and Edinburgh. Each participant will be paired anonymously with a participant from the other group. The men will be encouraged to write letters, creating pen pals, to discuss their mental health.
