2.7 Library for the Blind and Print Disabled, Part 1

When was the last time you visited your local library?

For me, it was prior to the pandemic and working full time.

Throughout the years, I’ve visited the local library for book, books on tape and videos.

Recently I visited the local library for the visually impaired, blind, and print disabled community.

Though I knew about the library, I didn’t know about the services for the print disabled and learning disabled dyslexic community being serviced.

I recommend you check out the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled for a friend, family member, or for yourself at:

Download the application at:

"Applications for service are available on your local network library website or can be found below (PDFs) for individuals (in English and Spanish) and institutions. Once downloaded and completed, please print out, have it signed by a certifying authority, and mail to your local network library."
