It is library policy to make every reasonable attempt to ensure access to collections and services to all, including persons with disabilities.
Building Access
There is ramp access from the designated disability parking spaces in Parking Lot 7 to the Swirbul Library front door, which is button-operated and power-assisted. All public service floors are accessible by elevators, which are equipped with braille button labels and emergency telephones.
Restrooms
A unisex restroom with adaptive equipment is located on the first floor behind the 1st Floor Service Point, near classrooms 100 and 101. Restrooms on the second floor are also wheelchair accessible.
Specialized Equipment
IT's Assistive Technology page lists software and services provided within the Library. Hand-held magnifiers may also be borrowed for in-house use from the User Services Desk on the first floor.
