Our reference staff will spend as much time as needed with a patron that has
a disability.  We have no set time limit.  We also have our Community
Assistive Technology Center which is geared towards patrons with
disabilities.  The Center is equipped with 3 computers, large monitors,
screen reader, screen magnifier, alternative keyboard, touchscreen and a
variety of software.  Patrons make an appointment and use the equipment or
receive training, if that is what is needed.  Patrons are not limited to a
set number of appointments.  Appointments are usually 1 hour, once a week.

Subject: Limits to Time Spent With Patron?


Do any libraries limit the amount of time library staff spend with patrons
with disabilities?  If so, what is the limit?
