As time and staffing allow, reference librarians retrieve or photocopy one or two items immediately for patrons with disabilities. However, patrons with disabilities are advised to make arrangements with a librarian ahead of time for extended service.

If a librarian or graduate assistant is not available, such as in the case of Reference Desk off-hours, circulation staff can be of assistance to answer basic questions or retrieve one or two items as time allows.

The following are library facility features, equipment and resources for patrons with disabilities:

Facility Features:
Doors -The center outside door leading into the building, as well as the inside door leading into the main library, may be opened electronically using a push pad.
