Local Library Assistive Technology
I visited my local library which is the Murrieta Public Library. It is a very nice library and is well organized and clean. They also provide computers to the public in a separate room to ensure a quiet atmosphere. Each time a person uses the computer, they are under a one hour time limit. At the end of the limit the time can be extended to up to 30 minutes. This is to control the amount of time people spend on it to give everyone a fair chance to use them. Also, in the library there are desks that have access to an outlet for people who have their own computers but need internet access. The Library offers free wifi throughout the building. Finally, they have a specific section within the children's books area that has a few rows of computers just for children. There are lower to the ground for their specific use, and there are enough to fit a whole classroom of students. They offer educational programs on there that have games that aid the students in learning certain material. All of this technology they have made to the public is great, and I am sure they have aided a lot of people; however, in my opinion, they could probably add more computers to assist even more people. Other than this, it is a great place to do homework on the computer.
