Audio-Described DVDs
DVDs with “descriptive narration” have been specially enhanced to assist
people with visual impairments. During pauses in the dialogue, a narrator
describes the scenery, costumes, and actions that appear on the screen.
Access Services maintains a small collection of classic, popular, and
award-winning films in this format. To request our audio-described DVDs,
call us at 703-324-8380 or TTY 703-324-8365. You may also e-mail us.
Braille Awareness Kits
Media selected by Access Services upon request will help groups learn
about the history and use of Braille. Any Fairfax County Public Library
cardholder may reserve a kit. Please contact us at least two weeks in
advance by calling 703-324-8380 or TTY 703-324-8365. You may also e-mail us.

Printed books and other materials focused on learning about and living
