Many Services
Are Available
For The Blind
An estimated 7,000 Georgians
who are sightless apparently are
not aware of the free services
available through the Library for
the Blind and Physically Handi
capped, according to Lee Steele,
Supervisor of the library for the
Georgia Department of Educa
tion.
Steele makes the estimate on
the basis of a report issued by
the National Association for the
Prevention of Blindness, which
noted approximately 12,500 Geor
gians are sightless. Records of the
library register 5,500 regular
users of the service.
“We are seeking methods to
notify all sightless or physically
handicapped Georgians that our
Braille Books and magazines,
large print books and talking
books (publications which have
been recorded on phonograph rec
ord and audiotapes) are distribu
ted without charge,” said Steele.
In many cases the handicapped
person who cannot afford to pur
chase a playback device may also
borrow a machine through the De
partment of Education to listen
to the recordings in his home, ad
vises Robert L. Manning, Libra
rian for the Department of Edu
cation.
Those who are interested or
know of someone who would be
interested in these free materials,
