Silent Auction for Low Vision Room

The Bedford Public Library has gradually been adding Assistive Technology for their low vision users after two successful Low Vision Fairs over the past three years. The next step is to have a room dedicated to the latest technology in the new library for low vision readers to utilize while at the library and in limited cases some of the technology will be available for check out.

On November 20th, the library will have some of the technology on display that through fundraising efforts by the Bedford Library Foundation will hopefully become a reality. Along with the display there will be a silent auction with all funds dedicated to purchase of equipment.

Refreshments will be served and we hope you will invite you friends for this special event. The Bedford Public Library is taking the lead and will be the only library in our area accommodating people with low vision and those losing their vision.

For further information, please feel free to contact Patt Dreyer at pattdreyer@sbcglobal.net.
