Accessibility Statement 

The Turner Free Library includes accessibility features on its website as part of its mission "to serve the informational, educational, cultural, and recreational needs of all the members of the diverse Randolph community." Over 60% of adults in the US have a disability of some kind, many of which can make websites like the Turner Free Library's difficult to use. This in turn limits their access to library services and resources.

In order to make the Library's website as inclusive as possible, it includes the Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbar.

The Turner Free Library is also a KultureCity Certified Sensory Inclusive Venue, with TFL staff completing yearly training on providing sensory inclusive services.  The Library offers Sensory Bags at both TFL Help Desks, which contain headphones and sensory fidgets available for anyone to use while at the TFL.
