Making Programs Accessible for All
Wednesday, February 8 | 2-3:30 pm
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.
