Thanks to a Broadband Technology Opportunities Program grant through the State Library of Louisiana, Evangeline Parish Library can now offer the use of an accessible workstation at the main library.  The Accessibility Workstation is preloaded with JAWS Screen Reader software; MAGic Screen Magnification software; TypeAbility software; a 24 inch wide-screen monitor; and a TOPAZ Desktop Video Magnifier.  Also, one computer in every branch library of the parish will receive a copy of the MAGic Screen Magnification software in the near future.

The workstation is delicate and expensive and will not be available for general use.  Restrictions will apply: for more information, check at the desk.  This is also our wheelchair accessible workstation.  Please call 363-1369 for more information.
