A reading room dedicated for the visually-impaired officially made its debut on Saturday at the Da Nang General Science Library.

The separate space for visually impaired readers features a total of more than 3,900 copies of information resources which are diverse in genres such as 897 copies of Braille books, 1,511 copies of CDs, and 1,491 copies of cassette tapes.

Also, there are some specialised machines to assist blind readers to access documents such as Smart view machines, victor readers, cassette readers, etc.

The reading room dedicated for the visually-impaired is conveniently located right at the entrance to the library. It is fully equipped with tables, chairs, necessary equipment, and computers with reading software installed to assist blind readers to access a rich source of information on the internet.

Additionally, the Da Nang General Science Library develops a plan to periodically rotate books for the municipal Association for the blind every year. In particular, the focus will be on collecting and supplementing audio books to well serve the lifelong learning needs of blind readers in the coming time.
