Accessible formats - braille and large print

We are working in partnership with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) and CustomEyes at Guide Dogs to make many of the Bookbuzz titles available to order in both Braille and large print.

We are only able to provide a limited number of braille and large print books so, to ensure other students don’t miss out, please only order these for children who cannot access standard formats due to visual difficulties. We are not able to provide copies for your library or for students who would not otherwise be receiving a Bookbuzz book.

The need for books in accessible formats has greatly increased during these extraordinary times. Please note accessible titles will take up to 4 weeks to arrive after an order is placed
