Introducing RNIB Reading Services
Reading is important. If you're struggling to read because of your sight, RNIB Reading Services offers plenty of solutions to help, whatever your reading tastes and preferences.
Browse our growing collection of over 54,000 books to borrow, download and listen to on your smartphone, tablet, computer or other reading device. You can choose from a wide range of fiction and non-fiction titles for both children and adults, in DAISY audio and electronic braille.
We're continuously adding new content to our collection, and work closely with publishers to bring you the latest releases.
