The SAVH Library Services Centre was established to meet the information needs of individuals who are blind or visually impaired and registered with the Association. It serves anyone who is unable to read printed materials. The Centre offers a free reading service, allowing members to borrow audio and Braille books. To further support those without access to online or mainstream media, the Library also produces audio periodicals in both English and Mandarin.
Available Resources
The Library Services Centre offers a wide range of resources, including talking books, Braille books, movies, and music CDs. It also produces two locally recorded programmes — the English News InfoMag and the monthly Chinese Digest. Members can access these podcasts via Dropbox or have them downloaded onto thumb drives.
How To Borrow Books?
Members can visit the Library Services Centre to select their books or request to have the books mailed to their homes. Postage of articles for the blind is free.
Opening hours of the Library are from Mondays to Fridays from 8am to 5pm. For more information, please call the Librarian at 62514331 (ext 811) or email us at savh_lsc@savh.org.sg.
