Join us for the “Tech Walk-in Open Session,” a friendly gathering where LAMP patrons can share ideas about making technology easier for everyone to use. Library staff will be on hand to assist with technology needs and facilitate open conversation. Bring your thoughts and experiences as we chat about tools that help people with different needs. Don’t miss out—stick around afterward for Tactile Tuesday!

Once a month, LAMP Pittsburgh is holding a Tactile and Braille Tech Discussion Group. The participants engage in an open discussion; experience embossed, Swell Form, and 3-D-printed items; and explore their ideas and interests on the topic of tactile accessibility. Those who gather also learn about the tools and software used to produce tactile objects.
