Dublin libraries hope Lightboxes can tackle Seasonal Affected Disorder

Dublin City Council libraries have introduced a device to help tackle winter blues and Seasonal Affected Disorder.

The luminous panels, known as Lightboxes, are said to lift moods, boost alertness and help people feel energised and are being introduced as part of the Healthy Ireland programme.

The devices, which can be used in the libraries without a booking, have been rolled out in all 21 branches in the local authority area.

Ciara Ward, Senior Librarian with Dublin City Libraries says their use is part of a wider health initiative that libraries are involved in.
