Disability Services

The University Library is committed to providing access to their collections, resources, and services to all library users, including people with physical and learning disabilities. If you require special assistance, please feel free to contact our library staff at susanma@email.unc.edu or (919) 962-4770, or on IM with PlanRef.

Visitors displaying an official state-issued disability designation may park in the spaces reserved for those with such permits. Disability access to New East is from the south entrance that faces Cameron Ave. Marked Disability parking spaces are in the lot to the west of New East off Cameron Ave. Once inside the building, phone or instant message (IM) the library staff to request assistance.
