About Braille Institute Library Services

A world without books is nearly impossible for most people to imagine. Many who are blind or visually impaired or who have reading or other physical disabilities often cannot use printed materials, which deprives them of reading materials that most take for granted.

Braille Institute's Library Services has solved this problem for more than six decades by providing free books, periodicals and other texts in braille and recorded formats. With a Reader Advisor's help, choosing books is easy; patrons select from more than 900,000 volumes accessible from the Library's own collection or that of the National Library Service (NLS).

As a result, thousands each year use the Library to fill all of their reading needs, ranging from serious books for school or work to recreation and leisure.

We are part of a network coordinated by the National Library Service (NLS) of the Library of Congress.
