The study reports findings of focus group interviews with 14 SCs in three states in the United States that were subsequently coded and analyzed using a thematic analysis framework. SCs identified many ways that libraries support YCwD/DD through provisions of materials, services, spaces, and collaborative partnerships with community agencies. However, they pointed to additional measures libraries could take to better serve YCwD/DD and their families. Libraries might consider implementing changes to aspects of their policies and collaborative relationships in order to improve their responsiveness to the needs of YCwD/DD and their families.KEYWORDS: Librariesdisabilitieschildrenearly interventionpublic libraries Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.
