Library Accessible Facilities and Services
The Central Library ground floor is now home to a great new magnifying device which
greatly magnifies any text. This is ideal to
� read magazines or newspaper articles
� access “discrete” bits of information which may be inaccessible in ordinary print
books e.g. recipes, telephone directories, Council plans
� read family letters, or bills.
Accessible information
o There are large print book collections at all sites. This collection is growing all
the time because of demand. Magnifying glasses are available at
Johnsonville and Central libraries.
o ZoomText is available to use on a housebound computer (2nd floor, Central
Library). ZoomText enlarges font size and can be set to read aloud.
o Thousands of magazines, newspapers and computer e-books are available
online through our mygateway.info databases. You can access these from
home, work or any place with an internet PC.
Assistive listening systems
o A hearing loop is available at Kilbirnie library.
o An Oticon assisted hearing system is available at Central, Newtown and
Tawa libraries.
