Low Vision Services

The Wixom Public Library offers a collection of magnifying devices to assist readers with low vision. There are a variety of shapes, sizes, and strengths; experiment to find the one right for your needs. Magnifiers can be checked out for three weeks, just like a book. Please ask at the Information Desk to make a selection. Thanks to the Wixom Walled Lake Lions Club and the Friends of the Wixom Public Library for sponsoring this important collection.

Readers with low vision can also benefit from our large print and audio books. The Library offers an excellent collection of best sellers and fiction in Large Print. Audio books are available on CD and Playaway. Choose from a sizeable collection of Adult fiction and non-fiction, as well as Teen and Children’s titles.

Oakland County patrons who are blind, or unable to read due to a visual disability or physical limitation, can receive additional services from the Oakland County Library for the Visually and Physically Impaired. The Library mails books and other materials to eligible residents free of charge. For more information, visit their website: http://www.oakgov.com/lvpi/.
