Dyslexia is a serious recessive disease, and gradually gets the attention of the libraries from many countries. Dyslexia services in American public libraries have a lot for us to learn from. This article analyses dyslexia services in eight public libraries in the United States from three aspects: the service sector, collaboration, and the method of services, and then points out that libraries in our country should draw a lesson from its experiences: Strengthen reading dyslexia services with legislation and play the role of the library association; Mobilize social forces to participate in and strengthen social exchanges and cooperation; Pay attention to dyslexia promotion and open public access to information; Improve dyslexia service facilities and create a good reading environment.
Key words： public library; dyslexia; America; invisible disability
