Ever wish for some white noise to drown out that background conversations at your favorite study spot in the Libraries, or just want a stress ball to squeeze while you study? Perkins Library has students covered with Sensory Kits that can be checked out at the Perkins Service Desk for 4-hour periods for in-library use. Kits are available in two sizes. Five kits of each size are available:
- Large Sensory Kits: Include a white noise machine, stress balls, a color-changing fiber optic light, pin art, snake fidgets, and popper fidgets. This kit comes in a large Tupperware container.
- Small Sensory Kits: Include a wider variety of fidgets than the large kits, as well as stress balls. Small kits do not include the noise machine, pin art, or light. This kit comes in a zippable fabric bag.
These aren’t just for individual check out! Instructors can grab a small kit for a class being taught in the library to provide fidget toys for their students.
So swing by the service desk and check them out!
The kits were made possible in fall 2025 due to funding from an Office of Faculty Advancement Seed Grant: Increasing Neurodiversity Competency of Faculty at Duke University.
