New at the Library: Video Magnifier

If you are vision impaired, or know someone who is, this piece of equipment will be very useful to you. Acquired through a donation from the Foundation for Sight and Sound, this easy to use CCTV magnifies anything placed under it from 2 to over 65 times its original size. Why don't you stop by the Reference Desk to try it out today?

Broadway on Broadway

Some tickets may still be available for the "Music of Broadway" on Tuesday, November 10th at 12:30 in the afternoon. Rose Balbi, a Harborfields employee, is also a talented vocalist and will be performing at the Library, accompanied by pianist Karen Butterick. Come by yourself or with friends to enjoy mid-afternoon melodies at the Library - you'll be glad you did!
