[Nyabs] agic on NYPL computers

[Kathryn Carroll]

Hi everyone,

I just received this notice. I haven't used the library's computers myself
yet, but I hope to.

All New York Public Library computers for public use have installed screen
magnifying software, called MAGic. Using this software you can: increase
the size of everything on a computer screen, have the text on the screen
spoken aloud, and change the size and color of the cursor and mouse to make
them easier to find.

Many of the libraries in the Bronx will be hosting free
demonstration/workshops of the MAGic screen magnifying software. Each
session will be two hours, but stop by for as long or short as you want!

Here is the schedule for the first ten workshops:
