Disability Resource Library

The Disability Resource Library (DRL) is a resource for people of all ages with disabilities of all kinds. It is also a resource for families, and for the service providers with whom they work.

DRL collections focus on information for, by, and about people with disabilities. Materials come in a variety of formats -- books, DVDs, training curricula, software, and assistive technology. About 60% of the materials you'll find in the DRL are not found in any other SILO (State of Iowa Library Organization) library. You can borrow materials in person or by mail.

Resources in the DRL go beyond print and electronic materials. You also have access to:

• Reference materials
• Free research assistance from experienced staff
• Access to the Internet, as well as to databases of the libraries at the University of Iowa
• Booklets, brochures, and files of current information on a wide range of disability-related issues
• Therapeutic toys/equipment chosen by CDD clinicians to promote growth and development skills
