All our locations and website are ADA compliant. We offer large type books, audiobooks on CD, audio-described DVDs, closed caption DVDs, electronic books, and audiobooks for checkout. These materials can be requested for pick-up at any IndyPL location. All public computers feature Windows Magnifier.
In partnership with Easterseals Crossroads, we have installed accessible workstations in all of our locations to ensure all visitors have access to assistive technology.
The workstations include:
Software on the workstations include:
These tools can “read” information to users, respond to voice commands, and help people with learning disabilities and mobility limitations complete tasks like writing a document or accessing the internet. These workstations are available for all visitors, with shorter use periods than other stations to decrease wait times.
To learn more about these workstations, visit The Roadmap to Accessible Workstations by Easterseals Crossroads. The article includes photos of the equipment and more detailed information about the project.
Need more help? Ask a Library staff member at any of our locations or call, text or email Ask-a-Librarian.
