MORE DESCRIBED VIDEOS

We’ve added 32 new videos to our described video collection. Described videos have a second audio track that describes the action on the screen when there is no dialogue to let you know what’s happening. The videos have been very popular with our patrons and our collection now numbers close to 300.

A few of the new videos are actually television programs, and they include two episodes of Bonanza, Discovery Channel’s Turmoil in the 20th Century, and Nova’s® production, Why the Towers Fell.
