Access to the Internet is available from this adapted workstation. The voice software allows a user to read the screen by a character, word, line, or page. The scanner reads most printed material from the library collection or from home so that the users can listen to the materials, or download it to a disc. The embosser prints material Grade 2 Braille. Access Services staff use the embosser to reproduce FCPL publications in braille upon a patron's request.
Staff also provides limited assistance in producing patron's documents.
