Dream Inclusive: Making Accessible Collections and Services in Your Library a Reality
While CELA provides direct services to patrons with print disabilities, many public libraries choose to take a hands-on role, maintaining a strong connection with their patrons while taking advantage of the collections offered both locally and through CELA. This panel will explore the range of populations and patrons taking advantage of the services provided by CELA, and will share tips on implementation and outreach.
