We will talk about the survey results, highlighting specific on-site and outreach programs for each age group. Participants will get an overview of what adapted programming is, what other libraries (of all sizes!) are doing to reach out to this underserved population, gain some insight on what has worked and/or not worked, and learn some tips to get started. With presenters: Jen Taggart of Bloomfield Township Public Library, Laura Hollister & Sarah Skinner of Niles District Library, and Marta-Kate Jackson of Cromaine District Library.
