Library Accessibility for Youth with Disabilities Survey

The Brimfield Public Library District received a Libraries Transforming Communities: Small and Rural Accessible Communities grant from the American Library Association to make the library's spaces, collections, and programs more accessible for youth with disabilities. It is important to the Library that we include children and teens with disabilities and their families in the conversation about how to make the Library more welcoming, inclusive, and accessible.

Children and teens - if you are old enough to answer the survey questions your own or with help, please check with your caregiver and then answer as many questions as you and your family are comfortable with.
Caregivers - if your child is not able to answer on their own or needs assistance, please fill out the survey on behalf of your child and family.

All responses are strictly confidential and no information will be shared that identifies respondents. If you have any questions about this survey or would like assistance in responding, please contact Katie Hahn, Director: khahn@brimfieldlibrary.org; 309-446-9575.

Thank you for your time!
