With many children, young people and adults being forced to study at home, access to text books is essential, especially if you are visually impaired and require accessible formats.

RNIB's Book Share service is free for all ages and has over 647,000 accessible educational titles, and growing, in it's archive.

As well as the free access, RNIB has teamed up with VICTA, a sight loss charity for children and young people, to also offer a free Orbit Reader + and the ability to buy Code Jumper for £90, 10% of it's full retail price.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Stacy Scott, RNIB Book Share Manager, to learn more about the free service and the great offer, in collaboration with VICTA.
