About this organization
Mission
JBI International, founded in 1931 as The Jewish Braille Institute, seeks to empower blind, visually impaired and reading disabled individuals to participate fully in educational, cultural and communal life by providing free access to works of Jewish and general interest through its braille, large print, and audio libraries. Our global programs in many languages serve people of all ages and backgrounds.
About
Libraries: The JBI Library is the largest library and the only comprehensive collection of Jewish interest (very broadly defined) in the world for the visually impaired, blind, physically handicapped, and reading disabled. JBI's growing collection includes over 13,000 talking books and several thousand large print and braille materials. JBI talking books are available in English, Hebrew, French, Russian, Spanish, Hungarian, Romanian, Yiddish and Polish. The breadth of its collection notwithstanding, JBI always honors individual special requests for reading material.
