Abstrakt: This study explores the importance of school libraries in lending a helping hand to dyslexic students, focusing on the availability and effectiveness of resources, adaptive technologies, and librarian training. Through a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from interviews with librarians and focus groups with dyslexic students across various schools. The findings reveal significant disparities in resource availability and adaptive technology integration, highlighting the need for standardized policies to ensure equitable access for all students. Furthermore, the study underscores the critical role of librarian training in enhancing the quality of support provided to dyslexic students. The research concludes that improving support for dyslexic students in school libraries requires a multifaceted approach that includes enhancing resource availability, expanding adaptive technologies, and investing in comprehensive librarian training programs.
