• The entrance is easily accessible as there is no steps leading into it.
• The entrance to the library has automatic doors so wheelchairs can easily get into the library.
• While there is a bus stop nearby it is only a specific one and not accessible for everyone depending on where you are located.
• If you have arrived on the bus by the station an easier route getting there would be crossing the bridge on Leazes Road as the path there isn’t uneven and there are ramps going up to Millennium Place.
• There are disabled toilets that are accessible with a key that you can get from the front desk. These toilets are on the ground floor which are accessible via the lift near the entrance of the library.
