What's new in the library?

Swine Flu Prevention & Control

Please note that a sanatizing hand gel dispenser has been placed to the right of the library entrance for use by members of the public.

Foreign Language Books

We now have a selection of foreign language fiction books available for borrowing in our Granary Branch. The available languages include Farsi, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Polish. 

Assistive Technology

We now have Zoom Text 9.1, Kurzweil 1000 & Kurzweil 3000 available in the Granary. For details about availability and use ask at the Library Desk.

Zoom Text consists of two adaptive technologies - screen magnification and screen reading. It allows you to see and hear everything on the computer screen, and provides complete access to applications, documents, email and the internet.

Kurzweil 1000 is suitable for people who are visually impaired. They can use the scanner to scan a page from a book onto the screen and can magnify the text on the screen. With headphones it is possible to have the text read back to them.

Kurzweil 3000 is similar to Kurzweil 1000 but the scanned text and toolbars look different on screen. It is targeted primarily at people who have reading difficulties. People can increase/ decrease the amount of words read back to them per minute. They can also check for definitions and pronunciation.
