The study assessed the use of adaptive equipment technology to support persons with disabilities in the Federal University of Technology, Minna Library environment. The study adopted a descriptive survey design with a population of 96 librarians. Purposeful sampling technique was also used due to the size of the population. The questionnaire was the only instrument used for data collection, and the data were analysed using frequency tables and simple percentages. The findings revealed that librarians primarily provide library orientation services and registration services for persons with disabilities to a certain extent. In contrast, the other services are largely unavailable in the library. It was also revealed in the study that the required adaptive technologies are largely not available in the library. The study therefore recommended, among others, that the university library management should endeavour to acquire basic and necessary adaptive equipment technology to serve disabled persons in the library environment. These would support the PWDs in taking as much advantage of the library as the able-bodied users.
