PLEASE DONATE to the SNHL “ Bottoms Up ” campaign to make our restrooms more accessible !
In 2021 , the Library worked with a consultant to conduct an Americans with Disabilities audit . It was clear from the audit that the most critical need was to add a first floor and fully ADA accessible bathroom and overhaul the second-floor restrooms to meet ADA requirements and update the 38-yearold bathrooms . The Library is raising funds and applying for grants to fund this important project . If you are able , please donate to the “ Bottoms Up !” campaign and help us make YOUR Library ’ s restrooms more accessible . Please use this link to donate : tinyurl . com / shalerlyl . Thank you !
