Course Description:
- Library services to people with disabilities are provided by all levels of library staff. From the part-time aide charging out library materials to the library director determining policies, staff skills and attitudes are crucial for a satisfactory library experience.
- All libraries have a plan for serving people with disabilities, whether it is the installation of ramps or the creation of special needs story times. But improvements are always possible.
- Library staff who enroll will review the current level of service to people with disabilities then explore materials and sources that provide additional support or new ideas.
