Accessibility Aids & Devices
For people with vision impairment or who have reading difficulties, we have adaptive aids and devices available to help make it easier to read print text and improve reading accessibility.
Most of our adaptive technology is available to use in the library only. For technology that you can borrow, please return it in person to a staff member to avoid accidental damage, not in a drop box or return slot.
