All people have the right to access library materials whenever needed. Guaranteeing rights guarantees the freedom to know as a social system. Libraries are organizations that are responsible for ensuring this freedom.
Libraries are at the heart of our communities. Every day, people of all ages visit their local library to read, learn, conduct research, communicate, or socialize. However, for various reasons, some patrons or would-be patrons cannot use their library's offerings. Some potential users have disabilities or other limitations and cannot access the resources.

Persons with disabilities comprise roughly 15 percent of the global population, according to the World Health Organization. This is a significantly sized population that is understudied and poorly understood within the library profession. Hence, the purpose of this book is to identify current problems faced by mainstream libraries for the provision of library services for persons with disabilities and also to present practical solutions that are appropriate to all.
