Accessibility is central to making libraries welcoming, human-centered, and truly public. In this webinar, PLA will share the new Libraries Advancing Accessibility Toolkit, which helps staff and patrons increase access to and awareness of settings, apps, and resources available on the iPad and iPhone. The toolkit supports older adults, people with low vision, and users with hand motor issues, such as tremors, arthritis, or limited dexterity. Participants are encouraged to bring their iPhones and iPads to explore some of the accessibility tools featured in the toolkit during the session. Leave with practical tips and tools to expand tech training and one-on-one support in your library. At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to: Identify tools to build staff comfort and confidence using Apple accessibility features; Identify tools to help patrons build comfort and confidence using Apple accessibility features in a workshop, one-on-one interactions, and/or on their own; and Identify materials you can use to assist patrons in exploring Apple accessibility features in a workshop, one-on-one interactions, and/or on their own.
