A SELBY resident has helped design North Yorkshire Library Service’s new library cards.
Emy Spinks, 20, is autistic and first joined the library last year to take part in the Reading Ahead challenge, but enjoyed it so much she wanted to give something back.
She developed a range of designs for library cards, all with a theme of books and reading, with the assistance of a designer from the Blueberry Academy, which provides specialist support for adults with learning difficulties,.
Emy also uses the library service’s Personalised Learning Pathways, which help young people with special educational needs and disabilities to progress in areas which interest and motivate them.
Councillor Chris Metcalfe, executive member for library and information services, said: “Emy has put a lot of hard work into developing the designs for her library cards.”
