Florida State Parks 

Clay County is home to one of Florida's beautiful State Parks, Mike Roess Gold Head Branch State Park. The park boasts accessible amenities, and you can find those listed on the park's website, linked above. There are many other accessible State Parks not far from Clay's boundaries, and you can learn more about those on the Florida State Parks website! 

Programs and Activities for All Abilities

The Clay County Library System offers a wide variety of programs and activities designed with accessibility and inclusion in mind! Our staff is constantly working to keep these events new, evolving – and fun! You can find when and where they are held by visiting our calendar.

The staff at the Clay County Public Library System has partnered with KultureCity® to improve our ability to assist and accommodate patrons with sensory needs to create an environment they can fully enjoy.

Sensory Bags are available for use at all of our libraries. These can be used inside the library for as long as an individual needs, but cannot be taken outside the library. Each Sensory Bag contains

• noise-reducing headphones
• fidget tools
• a visual cue card
• a KultureCity® VIP lanyard (optional to wear)

Each library branch has a weighted lap pad available upon request. 

Quiet Zones and Headphone Zones

Each library branch also has a designated Quiet Zone(s) for our patrons who may need a quieter and more secure environment. Signage reading Headphone Zone will also be posted in areas that tend to have increased noise levels. 

Sensory-Friendly Events

We pledge to create more sensory-friendly programming and events. To help make these events and programs easily searchable, we will add a statement in the description that states “This is a sensory-friendly event”. You can search for those in our online calendar

KultureCity® Sensory Inclusive App 

See more photos of signage at the libraries, read our social story, or find more sensory inclusive locations near you by downloading the free KultureCity® Sensory Inclusive App from the App Store or Google Play Store. Search for "KultureCity" in the app store on your mobile device. 

For more information about KultureCity® and how they are transforming locations to be more sensory inclusive and promote an accommodating and positive experience for all guests with a sensory need, visit their website at kulturecity.org.

This project was funded under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.   Florida's LSTA program is administered by the Department of State's Division of Library and Information Services.

The Clay County Board of County Commissioners hosts two large events every year and is proud to include quiet time to make these events more welcoming for all of our residents.

Touch A Truck: What Moves Clay…

This is a free community event that brings together everyone and everything that moves Clay County - from County departments and services to nonprofits, public safety, County agencies, and more. There are dozens of service vehicles for kids to see up close, food trucks, indoor and outdoor activities, free giveaways, and booths from County departments, organizations, and other entities to tell Clay County residents what's available to them - right at home. The beginning of this event is designated as ‘quiet time’ – no bright, flashing lights or loud sirens and horns that might not be comfortable for some of our residents. Please stay tuned to our event page for this year’s information as it becomes available!

Salute To Service: Honoring Those Who Served and Are Serving

This free event is aimed to honor the men and women who are serving or have served our country and their families. Open to the public, the event boasts interactive displays, a ceremony, presentations, and more. The beginning of this event is designated as ‘quiet time’. You can find this year’s information on our event page as it becomes available.

We are committed to providing exceptional customer service to all residents. Members of our staff undergo specialized training through KultureCity® to enhance their ability to serve everyone in our community, ensuring an inclusive and welcoming experience for all.
