The tape covers ADA compliance, including pulling together a focus group and designing an action plan to make the library's facilities and resources accessible. Real stories from libraries are included throughout the program. Customers with disabilities share their concerns about accessibility and provide insight to providing "reasonable accommodation."
The resource guide includes a self evaluation survey concerning employment services, physical space and communication originally compiled by the State Library of Florida. The survey covers important areas necessary in ADA compliance: employment, services, physical space and communication. Resource lists are also included in the package.
