Libraries should be places of refuge for everyone, including those who are blind or who have print disabilities.

Blindlib encourages partnerships to bridge the technological divide that exists between the blind and print disabled - and their sighted counterparts....

As every blind and print disabled person should be able to read - the book of their choice - in the language of their choice - in the environment of their choice.

Blindlib is a National Library which provides for the literature and information needs of visually and print impaired persons throughout South Africa and increasingly Sub-Saharan Africa. Audio and Braille books are circulated to its widespread and extensive membership via postal delivery.

The majority of audio and braille books are re-published from sighted text in these accessible formats at its premises in Grahamstown.

The BlindLib Mission To provide nationally, but also further afield a library and information service, free of charge - to persons and to people who are otherwise print-disabled.


The BlindLib Vision To be a library and book production service of the highest quality, accessible to all who are unable to read regular print
