Abstract

The article offers information on the U.S. Census Bureau reported in 2019 that 40.7 million Americans—or about 12 percent of the population—have some sort of disability. It discusses that research team set out to explore the accessibility of public library makerspaces; and also found that patrons with disabilities aren't always comfortable asking for help or aren't aware that making such a request is an option.
