ADA Access Services Overview

The Nelson Poynter Memorial Library Staff is eager to assist you in using the resources and services available within the library and through on-line services. We encourage you to stop at any service desk for assistance.

We can usually respond to requests for brief assistance, such as retrieving a book from the stacks or assisting with using the on-line catalog for a few citations. However, you are encouraged to make arrangements in advance if you anticipate the need for lengthy assistance, and a staff member will be assigned for this purpose.
