Wexford Town Library has a Sensory Cubbie
What is the Cubbie?
The Cubbie is a pod designed to help with regulating sensory experiences.
Users can customise their experience by changing:
Lights
Sound
Visuals
You can create a calming or stimulating environment, depending on what you need.
How do I access it?
If you have used a Cubbie before and have your own PIN, you can enter this PIN on the screen to start your session.
If you do not have a PIN, ask a staff member for help and they can start a session for you.
Once you have been logged in to the Cubbie, the screen will ask you a series of questions before you get started.
Getting Started
To get started, you will need to answer a few questions on the Cubbie screen.
How are you feeling today?
The Cubbie will ask you how you are feeling, so it can recommend suitable programmes.
Press the image on the screen that best matches your mood.
Suggested Programmes
The Cubbie will suggest some programmes based on your mood
For example, it will recommend energising programmes if you are tired or calming programmes if you are angry
Pick the programme that sounds best to you - if you need to, you will be able to adjust the settings later

After your session starts, you can change the settings to personalise your sensory experience.
To do this, press the button on the screen that says “Take Control”.
