The Forbes Library Accessibility Advisory Board is made up of local disability and accessibility experts and community members with disabilities. The board meets approximately every four months. (Three times a year.) Anyone may take part in advisory board meetings. The board advises the library on how to improve its services by making them more accessible.
The Forbes Library Accessibility Advisory Board was known as the Forbes Library Disability Advisory Board until September 2022 when the board decided to change the name.
On May 24, 2023 the Advisory Board approved the Accessibility Advisory Board Charge and Procedures to formalize the structure of the advisory board and it’s relationship with the library.
