Accessible Reading Services

If you experience difficulties with reading physical print books, you can sign up to access special library materials.

Our librarians will work with you one-on-one to find the titles you want, in the formats that suit your needs!

1. Find out if you are eligible

If you experience difficulties with reading print books, or have a print disability, you are eligible to sign up. Your disability status is self-reported (or done by a parent/guardian) and does not require a doctor’s note or “proof” of a disability.

If you could benefit from accessible alternatives to print books, we strongly encourage you to sign up!

2. Sign up

To use our accessible materials, you must first register as a patron with a print disability so that we can give your library account special permissions. Please contact us to register: we are happy to help answer any questions you have!

To register as a patron with a print disability, speak with a staff member in-person, over the phone, or by email.

A library staff member holds a laptop and shows the screen to an older patron. They are standing next to a small locker holding five other laptops and a stand containing purple tablets.

3. See what you can borrow

Need help figuring out what works for you? We can help. When you sign up, you’ll receive personalized assistance from a staff member to find the best options for you. We can even help you order items from other libraries!
