It’s the start of 2014 and there is something for all ages to take part in and enjoy at the Wrexham Library. 

Smartview Synergy Video Magnifier

Wrexham Library has recently received a kind donation of a magnifying machine to help people with a visual impairment to read books and documents. This machine features a new and improved camera with progressive imaging which minimises blur, lag and distortion making reading easier and more comfortable for extended periods. The new camera produces crisp, clear text throughout the magnification range and can be enhanced further by using one of the high contrast colour modes. Whatever you want to do, whether its checking your mail, reading a book or completing a crossword, simply turn a dial to adjust the text size and move the document left and right on the easy glide reading table. This machine is free and easy to use, so why not call in and see for yourself! For more details call 01978 2929090.
