Accessibility Services

The Reading Public Library strives to be inclusive and accessible so that all individuals may engage fully in library resources and programming.  To ask questions about accessibility or request accommodations, please contact the library at 781-944-0840 or rdgadmin@noblenet.org

Assistive Listening Devices for Programs

Assistive listening systems are available for the Community Room programs. Receivers are available with headphones or induction loops for use with telecoil-enabled hearing aids.

If you would like to borrow an assistive listening device/receiver for a program please contact the library at 781-944-0840 or rdgadmin@noblenet.org and ask for an assistive listening device.

You can bring your wired earbuds or headphones or borrow headsets when requesting an assistive listening device. If you have t-coil-enabled hearing aids or a cochlear implant, we have neck loops for use with the receiver.  Please let us know if you need an ear speaker or neck loop when you request a receiver.
