About
Difficulty in Reading Traditional Print? The Library’s Audio Reading Service broadcasts the reading of local and national newspapers, magazines, and more to thousands of people who have difficulty reading normal printed material.
We broadcast a digital radio signal from Fort Wayne on WBOI 89.1 FM HD3. An HD Radio is needed to hear this broadcast. An HD Radio may be borrowed by individuals from the Allen County Public Library at no cost. An application is needed to acquire the HD Radio.
The Audio Reading Service can also be heard over an alternative language setting on the broadcast television station WFWA PBS 39.4 and is available on free apps for mobile devices through Sero, which is committed to accessibility for visually impaired people. We also stream the broadcast and provide podcasts of our programs.
