## Library support

#### What support is available in the library?

In [our library](http://www.library.manchester.ac.uk/) you’ll find [many accessible facilities](https://manchester-uk.libanswers.com/faq/192847), like the [assistive software](https://www.dass.manchester.ac.uk/what-support-can-i-get/study-support/assistive-software/) that we have on all of our library computers.

We will also provide additional support for individual disabled students, where we’ve assessed that this is needed.

- We can provide extensions to high demand library books if it takes you longer to read.
- If you are not able to gather books or journals we can arrange for library staff to get these for you when you reserve them in advance.
- Individual library inductions can be provided if you need more time to understand the library’s layout and services.
- If you require an alternative space or access to specialist equipment you can gain entry into an accessible room.
- Library assistants can help you if you need assistance with moving, collecting, or holding books.

#### How do I get support in the library?
