Handicap Accessiblitiy
Handicap parking spaces are located at the rear of the building at the beginning of the parking lot, which is located off of Court Street. An adjacent ramp allows accessiblity to the Boys & Girls Library; a staff operated lift allows access to the adult services section, including the adult library, the Elizabeth Reed Room & the Jaspar Rand Art Museum. An elevator in the adult area provides access to the second floor (Whitney Study and the Teen Loft) and the lower level (Lang Auditorium). If you are attending an event in the Lang, please give a little extra time as a second staff operated lift allows access to the Lang. A handicapped restroom is also located on the lower level. Please notify staff so that we may unlock it for you.
