Inclusion and Accessibility
Recognizing the diverse needs of our patrons is part of our commitment to making our space welcoming and accessible to all. We want to empower our community members to make informed decisions about their participation in our programs and activites by utilizing our Sensory Key.
What is Sensory Key?
A visual tool consisting of icons to help indicate the sensory elements associated with various programs and activities at your RCPL. By clearly communicating these elements, we hope to create a thoughtful and accommodating environment for comfortable participation. If you require further accommodations, contact Assistant Director Cody Gabehart by phone at 270.343.7323 or email at cody@russellcountylibrary.com.
