Special Services (Audio Description and Listen Everywhere App)

When coupled with the patron’s headphones or ear buds, the app provides high-quality audio streamed directly to the patron and can be adjusted for volume preference.

Select films will be audio-described for visually impaired persons at no extra charge. Audio description allows patrons to hear a scene-by-scene narration of the on-screen action while they listen to the movie dialogue. For more information, contact Elena Perantoni at (614) 469-1045. Films being audio-described in 2023 are:

  • Hitchcock's Rear Window (Saturday, June 17 at 7:30 pm)
