C-Pens now available

Westmeath Libraries are delighted to announce that C-Pens are now available to borrow from Westmeath Libraries.

The C-Pen is a wonderful tool for anyone learning English, or for people with reading difficulties such as dyslexia. It can also be of benefit to people with vision problems, as this portable device reads text out aloud to help with independent reading. The in-built dictionary puts the power of the Collins & Oxford Dictionary in your hands.
