Port Moody Public Library offers a collection of physical and downloadable books in accessible formats. This collection is for people unable to use conventional print materials due to a visual, physical, or perceptual disability.

Sign up for Accessible Service

Download and fill out the registration form or pick up a print copy from the Library.

Eligibility

Accessible Service is available to anyone with a permanent or temporary visual or physical disability, such as:

  • Low vision and blindness
  • Recovery from cataract surgery
  • Inability to hold a physical book
  • Dyslexia

Materials and formats available

In addition to materials available to everyone, such as large print books, you also have access to books in following formats:

  • Physical audiobooks in CD, MP3, and DAISY formats
  • Downloadable audiobooks to listen to on your computer, tablet, or portable device
  • Books in Braille
  • eBooks in PDF and eText formats

Selecting and borrowing books

We can select books on your behalf based on your reading preferences. You can also search the following catalogues to request physical items or download reading materials immediately.

  • Centre for Equitable Library Access (CELA)
  • InterLINK
  • National Network for Equitable Library Service (NNELS)

If a title you are looking for is not available, we can submit a request to NNELS to have an accessible audiobook made for you, as long as the title has not been produced commercially.

You can pick up your reading materials from the Library or we can mail them to you.

Equipment to read and listen to books

You can read and listen to books in accessible format on DAISY players, tablets, smartphones, and computers. The CELA website and NNELS website provide a good summary of different compatible devices and formats.

If you do not have a device, audiobook players with big, easy-to-see buttons are available for loan at the Library.

Join the Ex Libris Talking Book Club

Join our audiobook book club and meet new people and talk about books. This book group is primarily for people with print disabilities, but all are welcome!

We meet the first Friday of every month from 11am-12:30pm.

For more information and to register, please call Corinne at 604-469-4637 or contact her via email.
