Accessibility

Accessible Parking & Entrances

Brewster Ladies’ Library has two accessible entrances with nearby parking for people with disabilities. One accessible entrance is on the side of the building when you first pull into the library, before you go into our parking lot. You can then enter through the auditorium side door. The second accessible entrance is through our lower level, where patrons can then use the elevator to come up to the main floor of the library. To use this entrance, park near our flagpole courtyard.

Large Print Computer & CCTV

The library offers a large print computer in our Reference Area. The computer has a large print keyboard, and fonts and icons are larger on the computer screen. Patrons with a visual impairment are also welcome to use our CCTV, which is also in the Reference Area. The CCTV magnifies printed text onto a screen and allows the user to make color contrast changes for easier reading.

ASL Interpretation

If you would like ASL interpretation for an upcoming program, please notify us at least two weeks in advance. You can call the library at 508.896.3913 or email bll@brewsterladieslibrary.org.

National Library Service (NLS) and Perkins

The library can provide basic information about alternatives to books through Perkins Library, if reading large print or holding a book becomes difficult. Our library can advise you regarding eligibility, and assist with completing the application for free library services through Perkins. Perkins circulates more than half a million copies of accessible books, newspapers, and publications in braille, large print, and digital audio formats to thousands of registered patrons who have difficulty reading newspaper size text, holding a book, or turning pages. This service is provided free of charge. If you believe you could benefit from these services through Perkins, please contact Devon Evans at devans@brewsterladieslibrary.org to discuss eligibility.
