From the Blind for the Blind Lending library


Our Visual Aid Lending Library is a community-driven initiative created to redistribute gently used Visual Aids to those in need. 


Unleashing the power of technology in various devices can help the visually impaired lead an independent life. 


From accessible keyboards to lighted magnifiers, we have a large selection of gently used Visual Aids.
