    Adaptive Technology Program

    The Adaptive Technology (AT) Program provides ATs for people who need to use them in order to access the library's programs and services. Adaptive Technologies are devices that increase people's ability to access the library's programs and services. We provide CCTVs at selected branches and divisions of the DC Public Library, and specialized as well as standard ATs in the Adaptive Services Division at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. Free training is available in the Adaptive Services Division to teach the basics of using ATs. Networking programs and events on the topic of ATs are coordinated at the library and in the D.C. area.
