Mark Freeman's (Libraries and Heritage Services Manager, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council) presentation to the CILIP 2017 Conference in Manchester #CILIPConf17 There are 2 million people in the UK who experience sight loss and this is set to increase as our population ages. With some thought, libraries can be one of the most supportive of services in terms of keeping people mentally active and in touch with the wider world. This session will examine some of the ways in which we can make our buildings and our resources more sight loss friendly.
