Library Accessibility –What You Need to Know The ASCLA “Library
Accessibility –What You Need to Know” toolkit series of fifteen
tipsheets was developed to help librarians in all types of
libraries understand and manage access issues. These issues
include but are not limited to: patrons who have cognitive,
mental, or emotional illnesses; patrons with learning and/or
developmental disabilities; patrons with service animals;
patrons needing assistive technologies; and, patrons with
physical disabilities. Each tipsheet addresses a specific
concern, and was updated in 2010. Autism & Spectrum Disorders
