Welcome to the Association for the Blind of WA – Guide Dogs WA

Library Services

Our library services make materials and resources accessible to people who need information in a print-alternative format.

Over the past two years we've embarked on a library digitisation project that will shape our accessible information production and delivery service well into the future. By transforming our collection of books on cassette into a collection of digital downloadable audio book files, we've embraced digital technology to offer, more widely than ever before, library services and information resources to Australians with a vision impairment or a print disability.
