The libraries, especially school libraries also fell in line with others to become not only the traditionally perceived learning environment as a physical space, but also the virtual learning environment. With the advent of computers, the nature of school library management and services has changed phenomenally. The school library provides service to the children including those with disabilities especially Children with Special Needs (CWSN). This enables CWSN to join the mainstream of students. The technological advancement has enhanced the possibilities for addressing their needs effectively. Therefore, the school libraries have to get equipped with the necessary technologies. This paper will discuss the present scenario of CWSN in Delhi schools. The paper also critically examines the different schemes launched by Indian Government in this regard. Different aspects of ICT and multimedia usages in school libraries are explored in the paper taking into account CWSN.
