Comments

There are no card catalogs, only computers at this site. Because most of the programs are provided on the second floor which must be reached by stairs, there is limited physical accessibility to programs. If services cannot be provided at this location, staff members direct visitors to the Ditmarr Branch which has elevators and programs that are accessible.
