Providing an Accessible Library for Neurodiversity- Community Conversations

We want to hear from YOU!

Join us for a conversation about how we can improve our services and facilities to better serve families or individuals with neurodiverse needs, including the autistic community, those with sensory sensitivities or other similar needs.

The Southworth Library was recently granted funding to be used to increase our accessibility for our community, with a concentration on people with disabilities.  We hope to gather information and ideas from our entire community, both library users and those who do not use our services, to better provide for accessibility limitations in our physical space, online presence and programming.

Your input at these meetings will help determine our priorities in the changes we hope to implement in the upcoming months.

We will meet at the library (which is handicapped accessible for those with mobility needs) on

• Wednesday, July 31 from 6 – 7:30
• Tuesday, August 6 from 10:30 – 12
• pizza and refreshments will be provided
• Participants will be entered into a raffle for $25 gift cards

Register here to help us in our planning.  If you are interested in giving input but cannot make either meeting, please contact Diane at the library thorugh email or call 607-844-4782. We would love to hear your thoughts!
