Registration Open for Spring 2023 LEAP Technology Classes


The NJ Department of Human Services Commission for the Blind and Visually
Impaired (CBVI) and the New Jersey State Library Talking Book and Braille
Center is pleased to announce that registration has opened for the next
round of free technology courses as part of the Library Equal Access
Program (LEAP).


LEAP is a series of free classes sponsored by The NJ Commission for the
Blind and Visually Impaired in partnership with the Talking Book and
Braille Center and several public libraries. These classes help individuals
55 and older, who have a loss in vision, learn about accessibility tools
that are available on iPads and iPhones. You do not have to be an active
CBVI consumer to register for LEAP.


The next round of classes will include an iPads and iPhone course for
beginners, and an iPads and iPhone course for intermediate users. iPads
will be available for students to use in class, iPhones are not provided
and participants may bring in their own phones.


Classes are starting soon at the following locations

Atlantic City Public Library – Richmond Avenue location

Cherry Hill Public Library

East Brunswick Public Library

Gloucester County Library System – Mullica Hill Branch

Johnson Public Library in Hackensack

Newark Public Library

Ocean County Library – Toms River
