Many of us start our library careers learning Ranganathan's 5 laws of #libraryscience:
1. Books are for use
2. Every reader his or her book
3. Every book its reader
4. Save the time of the reader
5. A library is a growing organism

#IDEAL19 tweeters. Make your tweets #accessible:
1. Add image description to images
2. Use SnakeCase for hashtags. Make each word begin with a capitol letter: #LibraryAccessibility
Both methods help screen reader users use twitter better. #lib4a11y #a11y #accessibility

It’s especially important that when we have panels on accessibility and disability and when we plan things for libraries, we include Disabled, d/Deaf, and blind people and don’t just speak for. #libraryaccessibility

If you have heavy interior doors, be sure to prop them open. (Big issue with library conferences I’ve attended.)
Have large abundant signage in a dyslexia-friendly font so those that prefer not to interact can help themselves. #libraryaccessibility
