How accommodating are the design and content of your programs to persons with disabilities? Do you have plans for how to adapt a program when a patron with low vision attends? How about someone on the autism spectrum or with limited dexterity? Does your library have a procedure for accommodation requests? Learn from our panel of experts as they discuss typical types of library programs and how to make them more accessible and welcoming for everyone.
