Falkirk: Home Sound
The main aim of the project was to provide adapted CD players and spoken word resources for sight-impaired and physically disabled homebound library members to borrow. Spoken word resources are increasingly available in CD format only but we found that many homebound users did not have access to CD players and that commercially available CD players were not always suitable for use by visually impaired or physically disadvantaged users. We were awarded £30,000 in a bid from the PLQIM Fund, administered by SLIC, which allowed us to purchase the DAISY Players and CD stock.
