accessible libraries visual impairment Braille technology İzmir inclusive design

İzmir Metropolitan Municipality is enhancing its library services to ensure accessibility for visually impaired and blind citizens. The initiative focuses on creating inclusive environments that allow for independent study, research, and socialization.

At the Hasan Âli Yücel Library located in Kültürpark, a dedicated accessible area has been established. This space is equipped with specialized tools, including Braille printers, accessible keyboards, and assistive computing technologies. Users can utilize these resources or bring their own screen readers and assistive devices to work in a flexible environment.

The municipality intends to expand these accessible library models to other locations throughout the city to promote equal access to cultural and educational opportunities.
