Princeville Lions Club Provides a New Service

The VideoEye! power magnification system is a powerful aid for those who have vision difficulties.  This equipment has been donated to the community by the Princeville Lions Club and the Illinois Eye Center.  The equipment has many uses, reading your mail or the newspaper, writing checks or correspondence, working with small pieces, or enjoying a book again.  The equipment is easy to use; just ask at the service desk and we’ll show you how to get started.  Help us spread the word about this wonderful gift to people with vision problems.
            We have a new way to listen to a good book called Playaways.  Playaways are preloaded onto an MP3 player.  This is a tiny device about the size of a thick credit card that holds an entire book.  You use earphones to listen to the audio book.  The advantages to using the Playaway is the size, it will easily fit in a shirt or pants pocket and the headset leaves your hands free for exercising or working.  If you have never used an MP3 player, this is an easy way to try it out. 
            Of course, if you already have an MP3 player, you can download audiobooks at MyMediaMall.  You’ll find it from the library’s homepage in the Reference Center.  It’s on the left side of the page.  Use your library card number to get to the collection.  If you have young children, try Tumblebooks while you are there.
