A generous donation to the Danville Library Foundation from Dr. Angelo and Mrs. Alberta Anaclerio is making it possible for vision-challenged readers to check out magnifiers that are stronger than what is commonly found in stores. Eleven Danville citizens participated in a Magnifier Clinic presented at the Library on Monday, May 17th. Pam Troxel, Low Vision Coordinator from Chittick Family Eye Care discussed the importance of good light, regular eye exams, and keeping the eyes active. This was the Library’s fourth Magnifier Clinic and several returning participants were re-evaluated to make sure they were working with the proper magnifier strength. New participants were tested and appropriate magnifiers are on order to fill their need.
Magnifiers may be checked out just like a book from the library. For more information contact the Danville Public Library’s Outreach Services Department at 217-422-5227.
