The Launceston Library now has a Share the Dignity vending machine! The machine is located in the ambulant bathroom on the ground floor, and dispenses free packs of tampons & pads to anyone who needs them- no questions asked, no permission required. The new machine was installed following advocacy from City of Launceston Councillor Andrea Dawkins- "I hope having this machine in Launceston's CBD will help break down the shame and stigma that can be associated with menstruation," Ms Dawkins said. "Those attending this facility can safely and privately access period products that can make a lifechanging difference. This may only be a small project, but initiatives like this can improve the lives of women, girls and those who menstruate, who may be experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or simply doing it tough." Launceston Library Manager Garry Conroy-Cooper said the facility is proud to host the new vending machine- "The Launceston Library is a community hub and a safe place where everyone is welcome," Mr Conroy-Cooper said. "We're really pleased to be able to offer this additional service on top of the diverse range of client experiences we already deliver at the Launceston Library. We hope it is something that benefits those in need, and serves as a reminder to people that libraries are about so much more than books- they're about congregating, learning, socialising, supporting and engaging in your community." #launceston #sharethedignity
