Adaptive technology includes any tools or equipment that assist patrons in accessing information and communication resources. The following adaptive technologies are available at the Novi Public Library:
Magnifiers
Novi Public Library owns a large collection of magnifiers in different levels of magnification, styles, etc. These magnifiers are available for check-out so patrons may "test drive" the different magnifiers before making an expensive purchase for themselves.
Optelec
The Optelec viewer is a very powerful closed-circuit television magnifying reading system. Available only in the library.

New Technology Station
A big thank you to the Friends of the Library for sponsoring our new Special Needs Technology Station. The new equipment includes a touch screen monitor, a big keys keyboard, and an oversized marble mouse. The technology will assist those with physical and cognitive special needs. The new equipment is located in the youth area next to the windows.
