NorthEast-Millerton Library

Founded in 1867, the NorthEast-Millerton Library strives to promote the development of independent, thoughtful, and literate citizens by providing open access to cultural, intellectual, and information resources.

In addition to 30,000 plus physical and digital items provided to community members with library cards, the Library offers access to adult and children’s programs, Wi-Fi, public computers, copying and faxing services, meeting space, and a seed library.

Our Brief

NorthEast-Millerton Library provides a variety of resources, events, and services to its patrons and community members such as access to over 600 online courses, a streaming service with over 30,000 films, job boards with current openings in New York State, and much more.

In an effort to make their online information and services accessible, adaptable, and accommodating for their community, NorthEast-Millerton Library searched for a solution that would eliminate any obstacles preventing users from accessing the websites and their resources.

Our Solution

To fulfill their goal of best serving their community, NorthEast-Millerton Library implemented Recite Me toolbar to allow individuals with language needs or disabilities the same access to information, opportunities, and rights that are available to all.

Recite Me assistive technology provides a range of tools, including screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids, customizable styling options, and an on-demand live translation feature that boasts over 100 languages including 65 text-to-speech voices.

“We're a small library but we have always strived to make our library accessible to every member of our community. Recite Me has played a key role in that effort. It is affordable even for a library of our size and easy enough to use that even those less comfortable with technology shouldn't have a problem.”
