Abstract
The Libraries Serving Persons with Print Disabilities (LPD) Section has published Guidelines for Inclusive Library Services for Persons with Print Disabilities. The Guidelines are designed to serve as a tool and a resource for libraries, librarians, and library staff, enabling them to begin to provide, continue to provide, or enhance existing accessible and inclusive library services for persons with print disabilities in their library communities. This infographic provides a visual overview of the key themes and recommendations in the Guidelines. It highlights practical areas such as inclusive library spaces, accessible formats and reading tools, accessibility metadata, communication, cooperation and programming, and illustrates how libraries can respond to different users’ needs.
