Thursday, July 9, 2009 Hi Anne, Here in Ketchikan we have a couple of portable electronic magnifiers that patrons can check out for a three-week period. They're called the MonoMouse, and they're about the size of a computer mouse. They plug into the VCR jack on a TV, and magnify print about 24x. They are lightweight, easy to use, and allow vision-impaired patrons to read any of the books or magazines in our collection (they are also great for reading newspapers and mail when they bring the MonoMouse home). Here's the website: http://www.bierley.com/monomouse.htm We also have a large magnifier - a TeleSensory - so that people can use our Reference materials.
