Q&A's and shares from libraries
This is the second of our quarterly webinar meetings, where we will offer training, updates, a chance to ask questions and share any successes or concerns affecting you or your library service. This time we're speaking to Dave Williams, RNIB inclusion officer and chair of the Braillist's Foundation about whether braille is still relevant today.
