Descriptive and closed-captioned videos
Descriptive and closed-captioned features can be found on many of the DVDs and Blu-Rays in our collection. The catalogue listing for these titles will indicate whether description and/or closed-captioning is available and we can help you locate them in branch.
Narration describing the action, characters, costumes, and locations can inform a viewer with visual disabilities without interfering with a movie's dialogue or sound effects.
Closed-captioned subtitles can be seen with a closed captioned decoder or with a built-in decoder on newer televisions.
