The Centre for Equitable Library Access (CELA) makes it possible and easy for all public libraries in Canada to provide reading materials in accessible formats to patrons with print disabilities. CELA also provides training and support to help libraries deliver their accessible services effectively.
Update: interlibrary loan items and deposit collection CDs to libraries
Good news! Libraries who requested books on their interlibrary loan account will receive their books soon.
