Hastings."Librarians need to understand the needs and abilities of differently abled patrons, and anyone responsible for hiring and managing librarians must know how to provide an equitable environment. This book serves as an educational resource for both groups"--."Understanding the needs and abilities of patrons who are differently abled increases librarians' ability to serve them from childhood through adulthood. While some librarians are fortunate to have had coursework to help them understand the needs and abilities of the differently abled, many have had little experience working with this diverse group. In addition, many persons who are differently abled are--or would like to become--librarians. Disabilities and the Library helps readers understand the challenges faced by people who are differently abled, both as patrons and as information professionals. Readers will learn to assess their library's physical facilities, programming, staff, and continuing education to ensure that their libraries are prepared to include people of all abilities. Inclusive programming and collection development suggestions will help librarians to meet the needs of patrons and colleagues with mobility and dexterity problems, learning differences, hearing and vision limitations, sensory and cognitive challenges, autism, and more. Additional information is included about assistive and adaptive technologies and web accessibility. Librarians will value this accessible and important book as they strive for equity and inclusivity"--

Overdue : reckoning with the public library / by Oliver, Amanda,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-201) and index.part I. Becoming: Northwest One ; Omnium lux civium ; So, what do you do? ; The library from "L" -- part II. Empathy: Can you help me? ; Cold mercy ; For whom ; Burning out -- part III. Reckoning: An education ; Libraries will (not) save us ; Multiphrenia ; The future of the American public library."Based on firsthand experiences as well as interviews and research, Overdue highlights the national problems that have existed in libraries since they were founded: racism, segregation, and class inequalities. These age-old problems manifest today in police violence, the opioid epidemic, rampant houselessness, and lack of mental health care nationwide-all of which come to a head in public library spaces. Can public librarians continue to play the many roles they are tasked with? Can American society sustain one of its most noble institutions? Pushing against hundreds of years of stereotypes, romanticization, and discomfort with a call to reckoning, Overdue will change the way you think about libraries forever"--
