WORD UP
30.06.10
Word Up Project We are keen to encourage more people to take advantage of the library services on offer to visually impaired people in their local library. Due to the success of the `Word Up' campaign that CIB ran at libraries around Cardiff and the Vale last year, we again visited libraries in the Vale. This aims to bring public libraries and blind and partially sighted people together to improve access to books and information. The Word Up Project was on its third round of the libraries in the Vale. The Theme for this round was Audio. Below are examples of what were demonstrated. Book Libraries Hagger Talking Magazines local & National Audio Described DVD’s & Cinema’s CD’s Playaway machines Speech scanners We had a representative from the RNIB Welfare Rights Service to give benefits advice and answer any questions you may have had. The library staff were available to answer questions on what your local library can provide for you. For information:
