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).
