Making the Library Accessible for All

Making the Library Accessible for All is a single-source guide that librarians can refer to when planning, remediating, or evaluating ways to ensure disabled patrons and employees will have successful library experiences.

"Libraries hoping to make their services and programs fully accessible will want to check out this useful and thoughtful guide. Highly recommended." -Library Journal

Libraries have an ethical, and usually a legal, obligation to make their services accessible to disabled patrons and employees. Making the Library Accessible for All is a single-source guide that librarians can refer to when planning, remediating, or evaluating accessibility. With a unique holistic approach, it emphasizes the perception of people with disabilities as partners in meeting a common goal rather than as a population to be served. Topics addressed and updated in this second edition include:

Multiple interviews with librarians and other experts in the field about proven accessibility strategies for libraries, personal experiences, and cutting-edge innovations;
Innovations in providing assistive digital technology, many of which are free or built into common programs;
An overview of changes coming to accessibility guidelines for digital content;
Up-to-date information on legislation that may affect some or all libraries;
An evaluation of how the COVID pandemic has changed both library services and patron needs
