Disability Access

The Ypsilanti District Library aims to provide full access to all information, services, and materials. All YDL locations are wheelchair accessible, the only exception being the Bookmobile. At Whittaker Road, we have a wheelchair accessible table by the Large Print collection. Service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are welcome in all public libraries.
