Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to the new $5.5 million dollar Canonsburg library and I have to say I was extremely Disappointed. Can you believe after spending all that money there is not an automated door to get into the library?
I had to wait until someone came by to let me into the new library . Once inside, I voiced my concern to the librarian. The Director of the library was in a meeting and unable to speak with me. I left my phone number and I'm expecting a call sometime today.
After obtaining a book, Misty Morning and I had to asked a child to open both doors so that we could leave . I am so disappointed that the architect and board of directors spent $5.5 million and did the absolute bare minimum on accessibility .
I am going to try to get an automated door installed on this new building . It's a shame that it will take time and cost more to retrofit the accommodations.
An automated door will not only benefit myself, but families with strollers , the elderly, and even individuals with their hands full . I can't believe I have to advocate for an automated door on a brand-new building. If you agree with me, please send them an e-mail requesting an automated door , gcplreference@comcast.net Thanks

What really irks my noodle, is that hospitals aren't even handicapped accessible. I'm in a wheelchair with only the use of my right leg and right hand and arm, and its almost impossible for me to get in and out of the public restrooms in hospitals. You'd think they would have a button to open the door.
