The Aurora Public Library District strives in providing access to all of its materials and services to every individual. Below is a list of ways APLD can provide accommodations for people to make our spaces and services less disabling. For additional requests or suggestions please contact us here.
APLD utilizes Cross Cultural Interpreting Services (CCIS) of Heartland Alliance, a non-profit organization from Chicago that offers on-demand telephonic and video interpretation services in over one hundred languages, including ASL interpretation. CCIS provides on-demand interpreting via phone or web, connecting staff and customers with a translator in seconds. Interpreting services are also available via phone for customers who cannot visit the library in person.
The Talking Book and Braille Service (TBBS) provides audio and braille library service via mail or digital download to any Illinois resident who is unable to read standard print material due to a permanent or temporary visual or physical disability. It is available through the Illinois State Library.
Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) makes available books and magazines from the vast NLS collection selected on the basis of their appeal across a wide range of interests. More than 115,000 audio and braille fiction and nonfiction titles are available, including some in languages other than English. Issues of more than ninety magazine titles are also available. NLS adds new titles regularly, including specially acquired music scores and music appreciation books. More information can be found at the Library of Congress website.
