A LIBRARY is to host the last of its three brailling days today.
Stockton Library has been encouraging volunteers to help put Braille numbers on 10,000 talking books with the help of Stockton Blind People's Voice.
The work was started in August 2000 by Phillip Ward, a 17-year-old blind student, and has continued since then with the help of members of the Voice group.
George Glass, Stockton Blind People's Voice chairman, said: "This has made a great difference to blind people who now find it much easier to find the correct cassettes by them being numbered in Braille.
"The title of the book also makes it much easier to select the book you want to listen to. It is unbelievable that so many books have been Brailled."
The last full Brailling day will take place in the library's lecture theatre between 10am and 4pm. The Voice group will provide lunch and the library will act as host to thank everyone for their hard work.
