The Movies and Music area has collections for visually impaired patrons. For the hearing impaired, there are Closed Captioned DVDs.
Talking Books
The Talking Books program is a free nationwide service coordinated in the state by the Indiana State Library for sight impaired and handicapped persons. The audiotapes play on a special player provided by the State Library to those eligible to enroll in the program. MCPL has a small supplementary collection of the audiotapes and working replacement tape players for those already enrolled. Applications are available at our Movies and Music reference desk or The Indiana State Library [1] website
DVDs with Descriptive Audio Tracks
These DVDS have a secondary audio track that has an additional "voice-over" narration that describes the images on screen. This allows someone with low vision to follow the story. The descriptive audio track is provided by Descriptive Video Service [2]. You may check their website of information.
