#40: Communicate with images

Consider whether you can add pictograms to any of your large directional signs. A pictogram is an image or symbol indicating the same thing that the text of a sign would indicate—think the box with up and down arrows for ‘elevator.’ Pictograms help all sorts of people navigate the library: young children, people who don’t come from the dominant language group, people whose vision isn’t good enough for smaller-print signs, and adults who are illiterate or semi-literate.
