We asked the Maryland Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (LBPH) to answer the question. Librarian Tyson Fogel answered with the following information:
With regard to technology, the library has four adaptive technology workstations for walk-in patrons equipped with Jaws, Zoomtext, Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and Kurzweil 1000 & 3000. We offer free one-on-one technology training that begins with an ability assessment and is then tailored to meet individual goals and objectives.
The library offers a large variety of books, magazines and newspapers available in audio, Braille, large print and digital formats that can be mailed directly to patron’s residence. A qualified team of librarians with specialties in reference, youth services, Braille, and adaptive technology is available to assist patrons with all of their information needs. In addition, The LBPH hosts a wide range of cultural, educational and youth programs such as book clubs, poetry workshops, art tours, and theatre. The library features a state-of-the-art adaptive technology lab with fully accessible computer workstations, and holds individualized computer and technology classes on a regular basis.
Also, we offer tours of the library and presentations of our basic services if anyone at LATI is interested. Contact information is available on their website.
