Hi!

I work in exhibition development at a museum. We are developing an exhibit about biodiversity, interconnection and water. Part of the exhibit space will be a resource zone, where visitors can sit and rest and browse a variety of materials (books, pamphlets) related to the exhibit content. I want a mix of materials appealing to kids and adults, homeowners and apartment renters, gardeners or those with black thumbs, scientifically-heavy or more coffee-table style etc etc.

I'm admittedly new to the accessibility and inclusivity game, but I'd like to include some materials that are accessible to visitors with visual impairments. The space is relatively low-tech and the budget for these materials is on the smaller end, so I'm leaning towards sourcing large print and braille books because audio hardware isn't feasible at this point in time. I've contacted the local talking book library and done some googling (found the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, the Louis database by American Printing House for the Blind, and the Royal Institute of Blind People library catalog). Do you have any other suggestions for identifying and sourcing more books? Any other general guidance or opinions?

Thanks in advance! <3
