AID TO SIGHT - H. Ashley Weeks, a retired professor of sociology in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan, tries out a new video machine at the Ann Arbor Public Library which will aid partially-sighted individuals in their reading and writing. The machine, a Visualtek Miniviewer, was donated by the Friends of the Ann Arbor Public Library. The Miniviewer uses a television monitor, a camera and a powerful lens, and will enable people to read small print. Weeks is a member of the Friends of the Library and also has a sight problem. The machine may be used by asking at the reference desk on the library's second floor. (Staff photo by Jack Stubbs).

"Reading on the Ceiling" helps relieve the monotony for bedridden Fred Schroen, an invalid for two years. The ceiling projector and microfilmed books were loaned to Schroen by the Ann Arbor Public Library. The light square on the ceiling is a page of a book, beamed onto the ceiling by the projector, which stands on table at center.

History of the Ann Arbor Library, 1827-1991

Introduction

The Ann Arbor Public Library traces its origins from two strands, public and private: the high school library started in 1856, and the Ladies Library Association founded in 1866. But both of these groups had predecessors, the high school library in the township district libraries and the Ladies Library Association in four earlier book lending groups.
