Disability Resources believes that libraries can play a vital role in connecting people with disabilities with information that can help them lead productive, independent lives. In fact, we started this section of our web site because the the editor of Disability Resources Monthly (DRM) is a librarian, and because so many of the organizations that subscribe to DRM are libraries. Look on these pages for information that can help you make your library more accessible and inviting to patrons with disabilities.
