graphic about inclusiveness

I really appreciated this ALSC Blog post about making library programs inclusive for everyone.  Leslie Mason (the author) has some simple and practical tips for making sure that kids with disabilities can feel welcome and participate in your programs.  I highly encourage you to take a peek–many of the tips are not complicated, nor do they require a huge outlay of money or time.  Just a little shift to make sure that your space is accessible and your programs easier to participate in for a wide variety of kids.
