Centre for Equitable Library Access (CELA)

The Centre for Equitable Library Access, CELA, is a national not-for-profit organization that provides accessible reading services to the approximately 3 million people across Canada with print disabilities. Through these services we can now provide audiobook, ebook and e-Braille downloads, and/or physical CDs to patrons who identify themselves as having a print disability. For more information please visit the CELA website.

National Network of Equitable Library Service (NNELS)

If you have a print disability, you qualify to register as a print-disabled library member: this allows you to access resources from NNELS. NNELS is a repository of content owned and sustained by Canadian public libraries, working with partners to make copies of books in accessible formats for readers in Canada who have print disabilities.
