About

ClearVision is a UK postal lending library of mainstream children's books with added braille. Our books all have braille (or another tactile reading language, Moon), print and pictures, making them suitable for visually-impaired and sighted children and adults to share.

There are over 14,000 books in the collection, including tactile board books, simple stories for young children and short chapter books for newly fluent readers. We have fiction and non-fiction in grade 1 and grade 2 braille - everything a young reader could want, from The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Thomas the Tank Engine to Katie Morag, the Sheep-Pig, books about space and the Oxford Reading Tree.

ClearVision also has a unique collection of around 1000 handmade tactile image books, in which all the pictures are designed to be explored by touch. These are available through schools, nurseries, colleges, children’s centres and Sensory Support Services for ages 3+, including children and young adults with sight impairment and additional needs, including learning disabilities.
