What it does
NNELS provides accessible books for people in Canada with print disabilities. Its collection is owned and sustained by Canadian public libraries.
Check whether your library participates before trying to use the collection. NNELS defines print disability to include visual, physical and comprehension-related barriers to conventional print. Alongside catalogue access, the service lets eligible readers request titles that are not commercially available in accessible formats, which is useful when a needed book is missing.
