The Canadian government has announced the expansion of a project that will make more published works accessible to people who read using alterative formats.
The announcement, made Wednesday morning at Lynn Valley Library by Minister of Public Services and Procurement and Accessibility Carla Qualtrough, included the expansion of funding for the National Network for Equitable Library Service through the Social Development Partnerships Program-Disability component that will mean more works will be accessible to people who read using formats such as braille, e-books or audiobooks, notes a release from the government.
The $2-million NNELS expansion began in December 2017 and is scheduled for completion by March 2019.
