Making Access Happen
An Chomhairle Leabharlanna and The Equality Authority have published Making Access Happen, a second publication dealing with the reasonable accommodation of people with disabilities. Making Access Happen was launched by Kildare County Manager, Niall Bradley (right), at the National Library, on 23rd September.
Making Access Happen explores practical initiatives to reasonably accommodate library users with disabilities. It is based on four pilot projects in Cavan, Dublin City, Kildare and Mayo public library services. These projects tested out new approaches to ensuring the library service is relevant and accessible to people with disabilities. It is hoped that these approaches can now be taken up across the library sector and within the local authorities where they are located.
The booklet is the second element in a joint project between the two agencies: Library Access, published in 2003, provided guidelines on reasonable accommodation for public libraries.
Copies of Making Access Happen are available free of charge from An Chomhairle Leabharlanna or The Equality Authority or it may be downloaded in either PDF or RTF format.
