NEW Braille Books

 

 

Merton libraries have recently teamed up with ClearVision Project and now offer a range of CONTRACTED AND UNCONTRACTED BRAILLE with text titles for Children. The books all have braille, print and pictures. This allows children with little or no sight to share books with their sighted friends and family, and adult braille readers to enjoy stories with sighted children.

 

For more information about our new braille collection speak to a member of library staff
