The Library is doing its best to make services accessible for ALL patrons. If there's something different we can be doing, please let us know! Below you can find ways we're currently accessible:
- Large Print titles can be found throughout the adult sections, just look for LP on the book spine, or ask staff for assistance.
- Magnifying Glasses are available for checkout or in-house use.
- Audiobooks are available for check out, both on discs and through the Libby app.
- Disability Access Parking can be found at the Oak Street Entrance.
- Ramps are located at both main entrances.
- Our ease of access computer is at an adjustable wheelchair accessible desk with an ergonomic chair. Text size is adjustable, and the keyboard is large print, yellow contrasted, with braille stickers. Headphones are available upon request, and Windows 10 comes with a built in screen reader and Dictation (Speech to Text).
- Library shelves and doorways are a minimum of three feet apart to allow wheelchair access. If anything is blocking your path or access to a book, please notify staff.
- The Library has recently received a VideoPhone with Video Relay Service (VRS) through Sorenson and the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) fund. The VideoPhone is designed so deaf and hearing impaired individuals can make phone calls through a sign language translation service. Hearing individuals who know sign may also use the Video Phone for end-to-end calls, but may not use the VRS.
- The Library is in the process of adopting a Service Animal Policy. While not approved yet, you can view the draft below.
