Any library open to the public has a legal and ethical obligation to
make their services accessible. This book is intended to be a
single-source guide relevant to all library functions that librarians
can easily refer to when planning, remediating, or evaluating for
accessibility. It has a unique holistic perspective, as well as an
emphasis on perceiving people with disabilities as providing resources
to meet a common goal rather than as a population to be “served.”
Accessibility is becoming an issue that libraries can no longer
ignore. Making the Library Accessible for All provides a holistic
guide to accessibility that addresses common issues and gives
strategies for responding to unique situations. Topics addressed
include: Increasing effectiveness of interactions with patrons who
have disabilities Interpreting the real intent behind architectural
and website accessibility guidelines Making events and trainings
inclusive for everyone
