DAISY Readers
Do you, or someone you know, love to read but have vision impairment or a print disability?
Libraries ACT have for loan 15 DAISY (Digital Accessible Information System) readers which can play audio books on CD, MP3 or flash drive. Over 12,000 audio books held by Libraries ACT are available for use with the device as well as a large number of titles from the Vision Australia library.
The DAISY Readers are available for loan for up to six months. It is expected that after a three month initial trial, customers who find the DAISY Reader meets their needs will then contact Vision Australia to discuss options for getting a machine of their own at the end of the loan period.
For more information or to borrow a DAISY Reader, contact the library by phoning 6205 9000.
A print disability can be a learning disability, a visual impairment, or a physical disability.
These DAISY Readers were made possible thanks to a grant made to the Australian Library and Information Association from the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA).
