You're getting feedback on library accessibility. How can you ensure your services meet patrons' needs?
When feedback on library accessibility comes in, it's crucial to translate it into action. To ensure services meet all patrons' needs:
- Conduct regular surveys and focus groups to gather diverse perspectives on library usage.
- Implement assistive technologies and train staff in their use to support patrons with disabilities.
- Review and adjust signage, shelving, and furniture layouts for physical accessibility.
How can libraries further adapt to serve the community better?

Aqui na Biblioteca do SENAI onde trabalho, a acessibilidade é o norte de todos nossos serviços. O espaço, desde a entrada do mesmo, até as soluções aqui utilizadas têm em mente o ajudar de pessoas com algum tipo de deficiência (seja física ou intelectual). Antes mesmo da entrada da biblioteca (ficamos numa espécie de mezanino) há um elevador acessível para cadeirantes. Temos o chão tátil até a entrada, nosso mobiliário atende cadeirantes (mesas de estudo solo ou coletivo, balcão de atendimento). Nossos computadores são adaptados com leitor de tela, libras e recursos audiovisuais para atender as demandas.
