There is no public parking at the MLK Library.



The Adaptive Technology Program provides adaptive technology workstations for library customers who need them.  The workstations are located in the Adaptive Services Division, Room 215 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.  Customers can call ahead and reserve two-hour sessions at either the computer workstations or at the CCTVs.  Introductory training on Adaptive Technologies is available through orientation sessions and regular weekly meetings with Volunteer Trainers.
