Torfaen libraries will be supporting Make a Noise in Libraries (MANIL) Fortnight 2012. This is an annual campaign to bring public libraries and blind and partially sighted people together to improve access to books and information.
Books are a great way to share experiences, explore ideas and link up with other people who share a passion for reading. For many blind and partially sighted people, reading also helps to reduce isolation and plays an essential role in their health and well-being.
If you have a visual impairment then why not join us for "Afternoon Tea and Tales". Companions are welcome also. Enjoy refreshments while listening to stories being read aloud. These will be relaxed and informal events providing an opportunity to chat and socialise. The sessions are free of charge and will be held in Blaenavon Library on Monday 11th June at 4.00pm and in Pontypool Library on Tuesday 12th and Tuesday 19th June at 4.00pm.
There will also be a free demonstration at Cwmbran Library at 10.00 am on Tuesday 12th June of eBooks for the blind and partially-sighted. This will be presented by a representative of the Royal National Institute of Blind People.
