Visiting Library Services I Accessible Collections & Adaptive Technology at the library

Burlington Public Library is committed to the independence and integration of persons with disabilities and all who live, learn, work, plan, and invest in our community.

In December 2009, the Library Board approved BPL's Accessibility Policy.

We strive to make sure that all members of the community can access library services in person, by telephone, by e-mail, in the community and remotely through technology such as the website, and we design and deliver programs and services to support the participation of everyone.

Using the library

A person with a disability has the right to expect the full spectrum of services offered by Burlington Public Library. A support person accompanying a person with a disability to a library program or event may attend at no charge. Service animals are welcome at all library locations. If you need any assistance during your visit to the library, please ask our staff.

All library locations provide accessible parking spaces; public parking is free at every location.
