Is the library space accessible for someone in a wheelchair? That includes all the shelves of books, toilets, power-points, door handles, computer desks/catalogues

Is the area clearly signposted? Do signs use familiar/universal icons so everyone can identify spaces? Is Braille included in signage?

Do resources cater for visual and auditory ability ranges?

What did you notice about the behaviours of the librarians presenting the storytime for children with diverse needs?

Are their quiet spaces for people who struggle with sensory over-stimulation?

Are staff trained in assisting patrons with special needs?
