Access2Books - Wonderful Books

I just wanted to let you know that Merthyr Tydfil Library has several wonderful children's books adapted in very large print and Braille. They are beautiful adaptations of popular stories. The lady who developed them is registered blind and wanted to be able to have books to read the same stories to her grandchildren as any other grandparent.  At the last CYPVOF members identified that the large print and uncluttered pages would work very well for all children especially those who are having difficulty reading (dyslexia for instance).  This may be of some interest to your groups or members who would like to use these books to read with their children or grandchildren, they are available for individuals to borrow from the main library in the town centre.  


A further development is that a small group of CYPVOF members are working together to make the books more accessible to groups, the Library Service has kindly offered to purchase more books and will deliver and collect the books from groups that are interested in accessing this service.   

If your group would be interested in taking part - please email me:   alison.harris@vamt.net or leave a message on 01685 353915
