It's #HiVis fortnight and we want everyone to #GoAllIn and enjoy the pleasure of reading in all formats. You can explore our collection of large print books here: https://t.co/3NSfMx8oba and audio books here: https://t.co/YarmbqmE0B . There are eBooks and eAudio Books on the @BorrowBox app and if it's newspapers or magazines you'd like to read including @greenocktele, we have @PressReader - both apps have built in accessibility modes as well as text to voice options.
In addition, all our branches offer assistive technology such as reading magnifiers. Our friendly staff will be happy to help you find your next great read! @ReadingSight

In 2015 I wrote the ‘Manifesto for Libraries’ for the national campaigning coalition ‘Speak up for Libraries’.
It’s crucial that all MP’s standing for election support Public Libraries and give them a future.
