A library for the blind
A library for the blind
Thursday, March 9, 2006 | AY
Thanks to a kind-hearted NRI, the visually-challenged will have a library at a close proximity to the city from March 18. It will be housed on the ground floor of Baidyanath Mukherjee Memorial Bhaban. Baidyanath Mukherjee, who died a few years ago, wanted to donate this place for a “right cause”. The library is meant for Braille books, CDs and audio cassettes. Most of the books in Braille are sourced from abroad. They include Encyclopaedia America in 172 volumes. The autobiography of Keller — Story of My Life — in Braille is brought out by the Blind Persons’ Associations in the press at Bidyapalli.
