Who They Serve
The Center for Accessibility provides disability-related library services for people with disabilities.
Many programs and services are free and open to the public, while certain specialized library programs may have their own eligibility requirements.
The Center for Accessibility is particularly valuable because it combines accessible library services with hands-on assistive technology and specialized disability support.
A blind or low-vision visitor may be able to use technologies such as JAWS, ZoomText, Fusion, magnification equipment, and accessible library resources in one location.
