Services for Persons with Disabilities

Here are some of the services the library offers for persons with disabilities:

American Sign Language
The library has a collection of books and videos on basic American Sign Language for adults and children.  You can also find eBooks, eAudio, and downloadable videos on Hoopla Digital.  

Audiobooks
For patrons who are visually impaired, a good alternative may be an audiobook.  The library offers abridged and unabridged audiobooks, on audiotape or CD for both fiction and nonfiction titles.

Closed Circuit Television Viewers
The Aladdin Ultra Closed Circuit Television Viewer is available at all library branches.  The viewer employs a video camera lens to enlarge text from 3 to 30 times normal text size and allows patrons to change background and font colors, or look at photographs with ease.

Large Print Collection
All branches have a large print collection of books.  

Large-text Screens
The library branches have software that enlarges text on computer screens for the visually impaired (on request).

Regional Resource Center (RRC) for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
As an RRC, the the Voorhees Regional Branch of the Camden County Library System provides special services to deaf and hard of hearing patrons:

• TTY capabilities
• Collection of books and DVDs on hearing loss
• Assisted listening devices - available to use in the library or to be loaned out (for a one month period)
