services to all students. Library staff is available to assist library

resources. If services are needed beyond those listed, or if you have
questions or suggestions, please contact Rebecca Mendell, Public Access
Services Librarian, at (916) 608-6708 or

Disabled patrons requiring more extensive assistance or who routinely need
additional help using the library may be referred to
Disabled Students
Programs & Services
(DSP&S) for better accommodation. Students may contact DSP&S prior to
visiting the library to arrange for the assistance necessary to make the
most effective use of library resources. For more information, contact DSP&S

Assistive
Technology

available in Room 152, located in the Computer Lab. Use of this room and

with adaptive technology.
Computers/Study Areas
Computers on height adjustable tables are available in the Library next to the Reference Desk.
Two study carrels with height adjustable tables are also available near the
reference desk. Priority is given to disabled students. If the station is
occupied by a non-disabled patron, please come to the Reference Desk for
assistance.
Emergency Procedures
The Library is concerned with the safety of persons with disabilities. In
the event of a library evacuation, staff conducts a sweep of the entire
building advising all patrons that an evacuation is in progress. Disabled
students will be assisted, if necessary, to the nearest exit. Procedures
concerning the proper evacuation of persons with disabilities are located in
the Folsom Lake College Emergency Procedures Guide, available at the
Reference Desk.
