New services being offered to staff with dyslexia
Knowledge Services is in the process of making all NHS Lanarkshire libraries dyslexia friendly. The following is already offered:
computers adapted to meet the needs of users with dyslexia
material to support reading such as coloured rulers and overlays, highlighter pens, etc
adapted library signs
library flyers in different formats (both print and electronic)

In addition, if you have dyslexia or know anyone who does, Knowledge Services needs your help! Please get in touch with your tips on how to make our libraries more dyslexia-friendly via libraries@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk or call 01236 713 700.
