Digital Talking Books are here!

Visually impaired/blind K-12 students from across the state have their artwork on display at the State Library’s Talking Book Services student art gallery.  According to Pamela Davenport, Director of the Library’s Talking Book Services, “The idea to display student artwork was a result of a joint venture with the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind and will promote and educate the public about artwork of blind and visually impaired students in South Carolina.”

FREE ADMISSION: Every Sunday in September for children with disabilities and their families!
Admission for Sunday, September 27 is sponsored by the SC Assistive Technology Program/USC School of Medicine.
