THE ALADDIN READER. The Reader in the Reference Room is a magnifier with a 14" TV screen that allows people to read that teeny, tiny print on everything from books and magazines to maps and bills. It is possible to magnify the image 4½ to 50 times larger. It's easy to use. Flip the switch, slide the item to be read on the tray and adjust the image and focus with two knobs. Ask a Reference Librarian to show you how to use it.
