What's new this Month?

The Berwyn Public Library would like to thank the Illinois State Library by allowing us to be a part of the FY 2001 Educate and Automate Program.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 With the help of Jesse White, the Secretary of State, combined with the Illinois State Library, our Library was given the money to purchase an Aladdin Rainbow Closed Circuit Television (CCTV).  This device gives are library guests with vision loss the ability to magnify the size of the print so they may view books, maps, graphics and other materials in the library.  This particular model has the capability of magnifying in color and black and white from 5X to 50X.   It is designed for people with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa and inoperable cataracts.  The CCTV will be located on the second floor of the library which is accessible by stairway or elevator.

Also new this month, we have received a wheelchair that is available to the public for In-house use only.  If you require this service, please request it at the Circulation Desk
