Accessibility for All
In addition to our offerings
for those of low vision, the library offers the following related
services.
A printed version of our services is
also available.
Library Parking
- Parking for disabled patrons is in front of the Library on
Castle Shannon Boulevard. Disabled persons wishing to park in the rear
of the building near the main entrance may do so. Please note, however,
that these spaces are at an 8% grade, which is too steep to be
officially designated handicapped parking. In either location, please
display your placard.
