I looked in to that actually. Hospital jobs. I was turned down because I require a cane while walking, which doesn't leave two hands free. If I had the schooling and skills in either spanish or sign language, I could have started off as a volunteer translator which may turn in to a paid position after a year.

Well I'm sure you know enough sign language to express yourself for when those who cannot look beyond the cane.

Are there no societies or groups that offer help to people with disabilities in your area? Perhaps a letter or phone call to a city or state representative to discuss the situation might help. The idea that the employment office won't consider job applications from someone without a car or license seems really offensive to me, especially in regards to the library position that you could walk to.
