Hearing Loop is Now Installed in Community Room!  A hearing loop has been installed in the Library's Community Room to assist people who have a hearing deficit participate more fully in Library programs. The loop eliminates most background noise and can make a dramatic difference in the ability to hear clearly and understand dialog.
You can use the loop when attending Library programs by simply flipping the t-switch in your hearing aid or cochlear implant or by using a headset that we can provide. Please let your program presenter know if you would like to take advantage of the new adaptive hearing loop.
