Accessible Collection

CELA 

The Centre for Equitable Library Access (CELA) is Canada’s most comprehensive accessible reading service, providing books and other materials to Canadians with print disabilities in the format of their choice. Options include audiobooks on CD, printed braille, and digital formats.

CELA works with public libraries in almost every part of Canada to provide free access to reading material in the format of your choice. 

If you are blind or partially sighted, or have another disability that prevents you from reading regular print books, CELA gives you:

  • Canada’s largest accessible library collection, with more than 500,000 titles in English and French, 50 newspapers and more than 150 magazines
  • choice of formats: audio, braille or accessible e-books
  • option to digitally download books or receive them by mail
  • free subscription to Bookshare, an amazing online library with an additional 500,000 digital books
  • personalized support to make sure you get the most out of the service
