Accessibility Resources
(Available for In-Library Use and Checkout)

The Frankenmuth Wickson District Library works to ensure everyone has equal access to our information, programs, services, and resources. We provide a variety of assistive technologies and services to help ensure universal access to our collection and resources.

Classroom Accessibility Items
This collection offers tools designed to support different learning, sensory, and attention needs.  Items include sensory and fidget tools, footrests, flexible and bouncy seating, math manipulatives, and other hands-on learning supports.   These items can help create a more comfortable and supportive learning environment at home, in the classroom, or wherever learning takes place. 

Large Print Books
For Youth who have difficulty reading smaller print, we offer popular chapter books in larger print for kids in grades 2nd-8th. These books are located right next to the regular print options on the shelf.

Literacy Hub

The Wickson Literacy Hub supports developing and struggling readers with materials designed to build confidence and strengthen reading skills. The collection includes decodable and phonics-based books, high-interest/low-reading-level (Hi-Lo) books, graphic novels, and resources for parents and caregivers.

Whether your child is just beginning to read, needs extra practice, or learns best with alternative formats, the Literacy Hub makes it easier to find supportive materials all in one place. Our library staff is also available to help families select resources that fit their reader’s needs.
