A little tip. My local library is loud and annoying so I just got a pin for my library card to go online and put the books on reserve. It just blows me away that I can pick out all the books I want and it will me waiting for me near the front door. Do yourself a favor go to nypl.org and sign up. that way you never have to worry about a book being too high or too low or something being in your way. Kudos to New York Public Library for making things more accessible. 

fyi- you don’t have to be a wheelchair user to take advantage of the NYPL online.
