Learning and Accessibility

Some resources about the ADA's effect on library buildings and services:

• ASGCLA, the Association of Specialized, Government and Cooperative Library Agencies, promotes a policy on Library Services for People with Disabilities.

• ASGCLA also has a toolkit for “Library Accessibility – What You Need to Know.” Each "tipsheet was developed to help librarians in all types of libraries understand and manage access issues. These issues include but are not limited to: patrons who have cognitive, mental, or emotional illnesses; patrons with learning and/or developmental disabilities; patrons with service animals; patrons needing assistive technologies; and patrons with physical disabilities."

• The CLA ADA Committee maintains a page of resources and websites related to disabilities.
