The
library is for everyone. The Plymouth Public Library's goal is to make library
services available to as many people in the community as possible, including
people with disabilities. Our staff is dedicated to carrying out this important
mission. Since opening at its new home in 1991, Plymouth Public Library
has worked to ensure that the best possible programs and services are provided
to people with visual, hearing, mobility and developmental disabilities.
From the start, we have included large-print reading material, magnifying
systems, disability resource information and other offerings so this important
segment of our community would have a rewarding experience at their library.In 2000, Plymouth Public Library was awarded a two-year grant to improve its services to people with disabilities. Funded through the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, with funds from the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), this grant enabled the library to supplement its programs and collections with state-of-the-art equipment and new materials, making it one of the South Shore's premier information resources for people with disabilities.
Today, Plymouth Public Library leads the way in serving all members of the community. Our adaptive technology workstation provides improved accessibility to the computerized world.
We are proud of the improved services the Library offers to the community as a result of the LSTA grant. Our goal is to continue to provide innovative programs and services that enhance lifelong learning for everyone, regardless of ability.
