Alongside basic definitions of what each accessory is, the lived library is a place to access real world references about each accessory. If you have something you would like to share that defines what living with your accessory is like for you, or what your accessory means to you, or you just want to summarise your accessory for those who want to know more, get in touch via the Contribute page. We welcome contributions from parents and carers too. If you would like to share a photo of your accessory or photos of multiple accessories together, please check out the Gallery page where you can add this if you wish to.

Have an accessory that we haven’t included? We aim to make MAST open and inclusive to all so please let us know by completing the Contribute form and we would be happy to include it.
