Dear All, 

 

We are organizing a workshop on "Inclusive Libraries - Making Libraries
Disabled Friendly". Hope to see you all there.

 

The need to access libraries is not one that we need to contend. Libraries
provide us with a vast resource of knowledge whereby a person can access
books, periodicals, newspapers, journals, etc. Today with the advent of
digital libraries, collections are stored in digital formats and accessible
by computers, also.

 

Persons with disabilities should also have access to both that is physical
libraries as well as digital libraries.

 

Libraries are also a point of access whereby resources can be pooled and
used by a large cross-section of the society. Therefore, making libraries
inclusive is important for the growth of India's population.

 

Date: 22nd May 2010

Time: 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Venue Partner -  HEALTH EDUCATION LIBRARY FOR PEOPLE, Excelsior Business
Center, National Insurance Building, Ground Floor, Near Excelsior Cinema,
206, Dr.D.N Road, Mumbai 400 001. Tel: 91-22- 65 95 23 93 

 

Do walk-in and be a part of the conversation and see how YOU can make a
difference in the lives of persons with disabilities. We would appreciate if
