We wish all our patrons and friends a good summer and a fun break from school and work. And for those who are retired, the summer is a good break from the cold and a time to go outside, sit and smell the roses.

We know that many of you are probably planning to catch up on your reading this summer. There’s nothing better than enjoying the back patio with a cool glass of lemonade and an intriguing legal thriller or a romantic escape. For this reason, let’s take a look at some of our best reading aids that will have you turning pages faster and easier than ever before.

Hold any size book

Roberts Book Holder

The Roberts Book Holder is a great addition to your patio table. For those who have trouble holding books open and at an appropriate angle for reading. The Roberts Book Holder is made of durable plastic and features a book support with pegs and holes in the front that adjust to any book thickness. The pegs faithfully hold the pages open but also allow for easy page turning.

Read laptop and other devices from bed

Laptop Laidback Ergonomic Laptop Table

The Laptop Laidback Ergonomic Laptop Table is great for reading books or news on your laptop or notebook computer from bed. It’s hard to balance a laptop in bed, and if you rest the laptop in your lap or on blankets, the fans may not keep the computer cool enough. With the Laptop Laidback Ergonomic Laptop Table, there is plenty of space for fans to operate without building up annoying levels of heat. This handy laptop holder can be used with many other electronic devices.

Paperbacks no longer hard to hold

Hold-and-Read Page Holders

Reading a nice new paperback in the car on summer vacation is a pastime many enjoy, but holding paperbacks open is often very difficult for people with hand weakness or people who can only use one hand. The Hold-and-Read Page Holders hold paperbacks open, requiring only one hand or no hands at all. The pages still easily turn, and the clip is clear plastic, allowing you to see more.

Tablets made even handier than before

Not all of us read out of books anymore. This is the 21^st century, after all, and many of us have switched almost completely to ebooks. Ebook devices, such as the iPad and the Kindle, are so portable and easy to use that they are often more accessible to those with disabilities.
