Accessibility and Accommodation

The CMLibraries are committed to providing accessible services and creating an accessible environment. We do our best to provide our materials in alternative formats where they exist. To request an alternative for non-accessible content, please contact the Library directly for assistance.

For members who are unable to visit the library in person, we offer homebound services – either arranged through the CMLibraries or through Community Care – Millbrook.
