Free emergency period products available at Llangollen Library

Llangollen Library is among the locations where free emergency period products are being supplied by Denbighshire County Council.  

It is one of 15 ICE - In Case of Emergency - places confirmed across the county where these products can be obtained should they be needed by members of the public. 

Display units in each location, including the library in Castle Street, include a variety of eco-friendly and plastic-free period products.

The project has been carried out by the council's period dignity team funded through a Welsh Government grant. 

Products are supplied by TOTM, a multi-award winning period care brand who hope to inspire better, sustainable ways to manage periods.

Other ICE locations include a number of public building restrooms.
