Public libraries are important spaces for families with young children, including those with disabilities. They offer developmental support, learning opportunities, and access to information. However, there is a need for more collaboration between librarians and early childhood professionals to better support children with disabilities and their families. By extending professional partnerships and increasing community awareness, librarians and early childhood professionals can create inclusive environments and tailor services to meet the needs of families with young children with disabilities. Libraries provide physical spaces for play, hands-on activities, and social interaction, and offer various programs that promote fun, learning, and socialization for all children. They also provide access to books and information in different languages and formats for individuals with disabilities. While not every library has all of these offerings, most libraries are committed to serving all members of their communities and are open to partnerships to better meet the needs of individuals with disabilities.
