Culture Leicestershire, with the help of a fantastic group of adult learners and local school children, has created a film to show what it’s like inside our libraries, so people know what to expect before they visit. This film can help:

  • people with autism or other neurodiverse conditions 
  • people who feel anxious 
  • anyone visiting for the first time

We would love to hear what you thought of the film to help us make films for more libraries in Leicestershire. Thank you for your help!

When you submit this form, it won't automatically collect your details like name and email address, unless you provide it yourself.

Has this film helped you understand what to expect before you visit?
Has the film answered any question/s you may have had about visiting?
Will you now visit the library because of watching this film?
