Supporting Libraries
Over the past twelve years, we have helped tens of thousands of people by working with libraries, national organizations, State Commissions for the Blind, optometrists and other healthcare professionals. Our core focus is helping as many people as possible to regain the independence they seek and deserve. As advocates for the right to read, we are working towards greater social inclusion for people with visual impairment.
Helping Patrons Find Books
Maggie
When a sighted person walks into a library they can find books easily, but what about the millions of people with vision loss? Statistics show that most people with vision loss do not visit their library as often as they might. The first barrier for them is finding a book to read. The Maggie can solve that for a significant number of patrons.
Reading Equipment Within Your Library
ColorMouse-Win
Most libraries already have computers, so why not leverage those assets further by adding the function of a simple, yet powerful electronic magnifier? Unlike more complex and expensive stand alone magnifiers, these magnifiers, which truly plug and play (well actually plug and read), are the ultimate in simplicity of use.
ColorMouse-Mac
For libraries equipped with Apple computers, you can now upgrade those to reading stations for the visually impaired too. With magnification up to 100x and pure white text on black background more patrons will be able to enjoy books than ever before.
MPD-12
When a sighted person walks into a library they can sit and read books easily, but what about the millions of elderly people with vision loss? Statistics show that most people with vision loss do not visit their library as often as they might. The biggest barrier for them is they can't read normal size printed text. The MPD-12 can solve that for a significant number of patrons.
Helping Patrons To Borrow Books
MonoMouse-RM
Here's something that has worked successfully for a number of years in libraries. It's simple; lend a magnifier along with any book! It's an obvious idea when you think about it. We can supply not only the magnifier, which plugs directly into any television, but specifically for libraries we include a protective carry bag. It's a total solution already loved by tens of thousands of people around the world.
An ultra-low cost solution
A whole new way to see things.
Surveys have found that especially with elderly people, reading can be beneficial to health and well being, and we believe libraries are a good place to start. In essence, the concept behind the club is to allow anyone immediate access to top quality, electronic magnifiers. Members can borrow a magnifier and try it for a few days to see how they get on with it or keep it for years with total peace of mind.
