WILMINGTON, MA — Below is a recent announcement from the Wilmington Senior Center:
Come learn about the Perkins Library this Thursday, September 26, 2019 at 1pm at the Wilmington Senior Center.
The Perkins Library is a free public library for people who have difficulty reading regular sized print. This includes people who are blind, visually impaired, physically unable to hold a book or reading disabled. A special part of the Library of Congress, the Perkins Library is part of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) and services the entire Common-wealth of Massachusetts with accessible and completely free materials shipped right to your door.
While many people only associate Perkins with vision loss, it is important to know that many more people may qualify for this service. If a person has arthritis, paralysis, or any other condition which makes it difficult to hold a book or turn pages, for example, they are also eligible.
