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"--

Supporting people to live well with dementia : a guide for library services / by McNicol, Sarah,author.(CARDINAL)884091;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- 1. What is Dementia? -- 2. Supporting People Living with Dementia and their Carers -- 3. Library Design and Environment -- 4. Reading and Dementia -- 5. Health, Social and Arts Activities -- 6. Digital and Online Provision -- 7. Partnership Working -- 8. Communications and Marketing -- 9. Evaluation and Service Development -- 10. Future Trends -- Summary: Ten Actions for Dementia-Friendly Libraries."Libraries have enormous potential to support people with dementia and their carers, and demand for dementia-friendly library services is only likely to increase in the future as the numbers of people affected by dementia rise and there is greater emphasis on community-based care. Taking action to create a dementia-friendly library can initially feel like a massive undertaking, but small changes can make a big difference. Supporting People to Live Well with Dementia describes how to effectively develop, promote and evaluate services for people with dementia. It provides readers with an understanding of the different ways in which library customers may be affected by dementia, and an appreciation of some of the ways they can continue to contribute positively to their communities. It then suggests ways in which libraries can better support people with dementia and their carers through approaches to customer service, design, resources, reading interventions, online provision and a range of other activities that promote more positive and inclusive attitudes towards people living with dementia amongst library staff, customers and communities more widely"--Dementia care has been recognised as a priority by governments, healthcare systems and organisations around the world. This book identifies ways libraries can support people with dementia and their carers to live well and continue to engage positively in community lifeSarah McNicol has been a researcher since 2000, working on over 70 research and evaluation projects of differing scales within various universities and across a number of disciplines.

Ann Roberts helps librarians make their libraries the go-to places in the community for both information and recreation; enables librarians to accurately analyze the demographics of their communities and identify the services needed; offers simple suggestions to help librarians with limited resources provide age-appropriate services; and describes information and resources most likely needed during each life stage, making it easier to target the audience for both programming and publicity
