Provide a variety of seating throughout the libraries to suit different body shapes and heights. Easy chairs are higher in some areas to allow for ease of entry and exit.

 * Seating**

Make room for getting around shelves with sticks and mobility scooters where possible. Large Print near to the entrance if possible Uptilt lower shelves especially in LP but also other areas Lighting that is suitable in areas such as LP but also positioning reading spaces near windows so that natural light is captured and used efficiently.

 * Layout**

Provision of customer trolleys Good clear signage where possible Elimiate snags and sharp edges Safe and easy access into buidings with even ground, strips on glass doors...I think we could do this better in future though Tables to read newspapers on and handbag shelves at desks. Try to make everything as easy as possible for all customers
