Welcome

Welcome to the Freeport Memorial Library blog. We hope to use this blog to offer in-depth information about library services that we do not have room to explore in our bi-monthly newsletter. We look forward to hearing from you.

Adaptive Technologies

The Freeport Memorial Library provides the following devices to assist patrons with visual impairments:


  1. Aladdin Video Magnification System is a low-vision magnifying device for reading books or documents.
  2. ZoomText magnifies anything on the computer screen, providing complete access to applications, documents, email, and the Internet.
  3. SARA (Scanning and Reading Appliance) translates printed materials into computerized speech.

These devices are located in the Job Education and Information Center (JEIC) located on the Library's lower level.
