CELA Program at the Library

Stacking books until...

Hi all:

This was sent to us via Margaret Milsom from Annette from the Okanagan Regional Library:

My name is Annette and I work with the Okanagan Regional Library System and we would like to let your clients know of a new service that the library offers free of charge through CELA – the Centre for Equitable Library Access.  This is a service for print disabled library customers.  Basically what it entails is that someone interested in joining CELA is set up with a print disabled library card then are registered with CELA through us and they can have books, magazines and other material sent to their home, computer or electronic device free of charge.

If you would like to learn more about the CELA service you can look at the website here
