Google books is a program that makes millions of books available that are either full books, previews of books, rare or out of print or sometimes just not available in a library (Google, n.d). Having access to Google Books is a great benefit to any person who is looking for something and is unable to succeed in the library. It means that someone with a disability can have access to millions of books on their own computer that may use software developed to help with their particular need. For example if an individual who is hard of hearing has a screen reader app.  

Google Books can help people with disabilities in many ways. Google Books provides text-to-speech functionality that can read books aloud to users who have visual impairments or other disabilities that make it difficult to read. Additionally, Google Books provides search functionality that allows users to find books on specific topics or by specific authors. This can be especially helpful for people with disabilities who may be looking for books on specific topics related to their disability.
