The Andrew Heiskell Library will be hosting a Technology, Culture, and Community Fair for People who are Blind, Visually Impaired or Disabled on Saturday October 18th, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at Andrew Heiskell Library. Join us as we turn our library into a hub for representatives from the great cultural institutions, sports programs, technology vendors, and community organizations NYC has to offer. Everyone is welcome, but the focus of the fair will be accessibility for people who are blind, visually impaired or otherwise disabled. Attend showcase sessions about accessible culture and technology; hear NYPL's Job Search Central give career help, try out assistive technology for reading, communicating, learning, and surfing the web; meet our team of peer technology coaches and set up a free appointment. Organizations represented include Lincoln Center, The Rubin Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim Museum, Google, Apex, Adaptive Climbing Group, Touch Graphics, Abisee, C-Tech, Orcam, Vis-ability, Eye-Assist, ICanConnect, Lighthouse Guild International, The Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities, New York State Commission for the Blind, Independence Science, NFB, Baruch CCVIP, 3D Photo Works, Creative Adaptations for Learning, PASS, Gatewave Radio, Touch Graphics, The New York Public Library's Job Search Central, and more.
