This article explores the evolving role of the school library as a central hub for assistive technology (AT), serving students with diverse learning needs. With the rise of digital tools and a greater emphasis on inclusive education, the modern school library is no longer just a repository for books but a dynamic, accessible space. The modern library is no longer a static repository for books but a dynamic, accessible space tailored to students with diverse learning needs. This paper discusses various forms of AT, including screen readers, text-to-speech software, and digital magnifiers, and examines their practical implementation within the library setting. It emphasizes the way that such technology can overcome obstacles for students with visual, auditory, and cognitive impairments in such a way that they can access materials independently and fully engage with the learning process. It contends that an active, long-term approach to addressing these challenges must be adopted, rather than mere equipment acquisition. It`s also addresses the challenges of integrating these technologies, such as funding, staff training, and ongoing technical support. Through selective incorporation of AT, libraries can enable all students to succeed, making the vision of inclusive education a reality for all. It argues that a proactive, long-term strategy is required to overcome these hurdles, advocating for a holistic approach that goes beyond simply acquiring equipment.
