Talk to the reference librarian. She or he has the knowledge to point you to the resources you need. If your local library doesn't have what you're looking for, your library can borrow materials on your behalf from another library. Remember that libraries aren't just about books. They have, or can obtain for you through interlibrary loans, not only books, but also a wide variety of articles from popular and professional periodicals, videotapes, audio tapes, and other materials.
Some public libraries provide their patrons with Internet access.
At your local library, you may be able to obtain time on a computer and surf the 'Net for information you need. A growing number of libraries provide patrons with visual, physical or learning disabilities books and magazines on tape and the machines needed to play the tapes. The tape players often include remote controls which make them easier for people with motor impairments to use. Thousands of books and hundreds of magazines and journals are available on tape. Braille publications also are an option often available through public libraries.
