Due to a fairly recent development of a disability I need to look for ways
to make my facility easier on me (and any other patrons with physical
disabilities. Specifically I need things to look for when someone has
impaired mobility on one side but is not in a wheel chair or a walker.
I honestly has not fully thought about it but recently noticed a floor
outlet that could be a tripping hazard. All of my stools (wheel retract) are
dangerous for me because they have no handles. I searched the archives and
found one posted in 1997 that mostly talks about attitude.

I seem to remember a posting about using a gardening stool with space
underneath for shelving/weeding but could not find it.
Anyway, what ideas might some of you have about making your library easier
to use if you have limited mobility.
