History & Purpose

The Braille Circulating Library has been in continuous operation since its founding in 1925. It is unique in that it is the only Braille library in existence that is solely dedicated to the dissemination of Christian/inspirational literature, at no cost, to the visually and physically handicapped.

The Braille Circulating Library makes and distributes Braille books, cassette tapes, recordings, and large print books on a loan basis to handicapped individuals in all fifty states and many foreign countries.

The Braille Circulating Library is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization that makes no charges for any of its services, incurs no debt, and operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. It is sustained by concerned individuals, churches, foundations, organizations and businesses. Over 85% of the staff is made up of dedicated volunteers who give their time to meet the needs of our readers.
