What does it mean for a library to become a more accessible institution? First and foremost, it means putting the disability rights movement’s ethic of “Nothing About Us Without Us” into practice.
Small and rural libraries provide essential services to their communities. But for the 1 in 3 adults in rural areas who live with a disability, these libraries are not always accessible. How are small and rural libraries addressing the needs of patrons with disabilities?
Passive, relaxed and sensory programs can be enjoyed by all visitors to the library.
Make your programs welcoming and non-stigmatizing to patrons with or without disabilities.
Whether it be in a meeting room or open library floor, are your programming spaces accessible?
Apply for grants of $10k and $20k to increase accessibility services.
