What's your handicap?

Check out public libraries, especially in the technical processing department. I was the head cataloger and supervised an employee and a couple of volunteers in wheelchairs. They did copy cataloging and processed library materials (affixed date due slips, ownership stamps, various stickers on books, CDs, DVDs, magazines, etc.).

Consider volunteering, often a first step toward working there for pay (and not just at libraries -- hospitals, nursing homes, schools, churches, animal shelters).

How are you able to travel around?

Since you are still in 12th grade, you will also need to find a job that won't interfere with school and homework.

Do you have any long term job plans for after you graduate? If so, you might be able to find something related that could help you get a start.
