Details
Libraries serve everyone in the community, although sometimes this is more difficult when an individual has a disability. Fortunately, new technology has lowered those barriers, and there are easier ways to provide good customer service, and inclusive programming.
In this interactive and informative program you’ll learn ways to better assist and engage with your special needs population through apps, devices and suggestions to improve your online and in person customer service.
