A Kensington Orbit Trackball for use with the lab computers, express computers, and catalog stations is available upon request at the Adult Services Desk. It offers advanced ergonomics, with less wrist and hand movement that will ease the pain of repetitive-stress injuries and works equally well for right- or left-handed users.
A large type high-contrast keyboard for use with the lab computers, express computers, and catalog stations is available upon request at the Adult Services Desk.
The Library offers a motorized scooter for use by mobility-impaired Library patrons. Please ask at the Check Out Desk for the key.
The scooter was acquired through a grant from the Friends of the Batavia Public Library.
An Optelec print magnifier is available for use at the Library. This easy-to-use machine allows you to magnify the print in a book, in other printed material, or on a small object.
