Quiet Hour at Hornsby Library - Every Friday from 10am-11am

Starts Friday 9 May

Hornsby Library hosts a Quiet Hour each Friday from 10am-11am. The aim is to create a low sensory, peaceful setting and it is part of our commitment to making the library accessible to everyone.

Come in during this time for a calm and quiet library experience. During Quiet Hour, the librarytwo females with their finger over their mouths transforms into a sensory friendly space:

  • We reduce lighting where possible.
  • We only use the announcement system for emergencies.
  • We turn down our phones and computers.
  • We keep conversations low

Our sensory-friendly hours are open to all ages and are family friendly. No bookings are necessary.
