Books for Every Reader at Plano Public Library: Inside Plano #90

Join hosts Amanda McNew and Shannah Hayley for a heartfelt and practical conversation about Plano Public Libraries’ adapted book collection and adaptive programs. They’re joined by Plano Public Libraries team members Maggie Fox and Janet Cox, plus Courtney Walker, founder of Libraries for All, to explain how adapted books help children with disabilities experience reading more fully and independently. You’ll hear how the adapted collection got started, what makes these books durable and engaging, and why accessibility in libraries goes beyond getting through the front door. The group also shares how families can find adaptive storytimes and programs, plus ways the community can get involved.
