disabled by providing access to texts vital to Jewish culture, heritage, education, religious life, and community. Through a vast circulating library, liturgical texts, customized materials, and cultural offerings, JBI enables our patrons to connect to the
rich literary, cultural, and religious life of the Jewish community. We create, publish, and distribute thousands of Jewish-interest materials in audio, braille, and large print that are provided free of charge and sent directly to our patrons' doorsteps. </span><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

vision loss later in life. In all cases our goal is to ensure they can fully participate in all aspects of Jewish life and feel connected to their heritage, culture, and community. In addition to serving individuals directly, we also provide materials to
groups and organizations to help them meet the accessibility needs of their communities. </span><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
