VISUALLY-impaired children across Keighley can claim a free book in braille or audio format.

The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) is giving away thousands of books to youngsters in the region.

Thirteen titles are available to choose from.

The initiative has been launched to celebrate World Book Day tomorrow (March 4) and runs throughout this month.

James Bartlett, for the RNIB, said: “We are delighted to support this year’s World Book Day.

“Reading can open-up a world of possibilities and enhance the imagination, which is why it is so important for every child – and adult – to be able to enjoy books of their choice.

“The braille and audio versions of books that we have created ensure that blind and partially-sighted children can discover these stories just like any other child and share in the excitement.”
