Delivery options

Overview

We have delivery options that work for everyone, from high tech to home visits. If you want, we can even select books for you, so you never wonder what to read next.

Some member libraries have accessible reading devices to loan out. You may be able to ask your library to load specific titles onto a device for you. If you have difficulty getting to the library, ask if there is a home visiting service.

Librarian helping patron

After you register through your public library, you have the option of receiving materials directly from CELA.

Online download

You can read newspapers and download books and magazines in our online digital library. You will receive a username and password if you select this option during registration. You can read on your computer using adaptive technology or on an accessible mobile device such as an iPhone.

Download without computer

If you have a wireless connection and an Internet-enabled DAISY player, or an iOS or Android mobile device, we can send audio books and magazines directly to your player or device. You do not need a computer.

Direct to Player service

Delivery by mail

We offer delivery of embossed braille, printbraille (children's picture books with braille added) and Envoy Connect devices loaded with your titles. There is no charge for mail delivery.

Printbraille books need to be returned to CELA. Place them in the cloth bag and flip over the paper mailing card in the pocket.

Ordinary embossed braille books and magazines do not need to be returned.
