SPEC Kit 321: Services for Users with Disabilities · 21
We do not have a specialist for disabled patrons. The Head of Public Services and the Head of Customer Services would
function in this regard. Public Services staff are empowered to assist disabled patrons in whatever capacity they need.
We will accept a walk up request for some activity but if it involves a significant amount of work, such as scanning lots
of content, we will indicate an appointment is needed.
