Library

CARD actively collects and maintains a wide range of materials in our reference library located in the office conference area. Items include books, videos, training materials, DVDs and CD-ROMs. Most items may be checked out from the library for 2 weeks at a time.

The conference area also contains a new computer workstation which may be used by constituents and family members to create individualized picture communication materials, watch DVDs, or play CD-ROMs from the library.
