From:          Kate  Parker, Development Officer 
Subject:     National Federation of the Blind (NFB) Gives Closed Circuit 
Television to  Clarke County Library 
FOR  IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
Handley Regional Library announces that the Winchester Chapter of the  
National Federation of the Blind (NFB) has generously donated a closed circuit  
television (CCTV) unit to Handley Regional Library. It is located in the 
study  room in Clarke County Library at  101 Chalmers  Court in Berryville, VA. 
 
This piece of equipment is designed for people with low vision. Any  
printed material, text or graphics, appears enlarged on the TV screen when it is  
placed under the camera. This machine will allow patrons with low vision to  
examine everything from library resources, e.g., books, magazines, and even 
CD  cases or letters and bills brought from home.  
While the CCTV unit is provided for people with low vision, there are no  
restrictions on who uses it. Anyone who wants to examine anything with  
magnification is free to work with it. Members of the Winchester Chapter are  
glad the library is providing space in the study room for this machine. They  
feel it will be of great benefit to the citizens of Clarke County.
