How our Library Services has allowed Isaac and Enoch to enjoy the happiness of reading and playing with toys.

Library Story

Vicky is mum to eight-year-old twins Isaac and Enoch, who both have disabilities. The boys love football and vehicles, reading, watching videos and playing with friends. Life is very busy, and Vicky’s daily routine revolves around taking care of the boys’ needs.

Vicky explains that her elder son has very stiff hands and arms and isn’t able to use his hands to play with traditional toys or even turn the pages of a book on his own. The family were struggling to find suitable things for their sons to play with. Their physiotherapist at CP Cymru suggested our lending library as we have a range of adapted toys that are perfect for her children’s needs.

Vicky told us:
“I find it difficult to take the boys to a library as I don’t drive and the library in our district is not wheelchair accessible. Cerebra’s library service is very convenient to us as I can reach it online to search for books and toys and they are sent to us. We’ve borrowed books, audio books and adapted toys so my son can enjoy the happiness of reading and playing with toys. To provide this service with free delivery and collection as well is amazing”.
