Friends of the North Carolina Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped

The Friends of the North Carolina Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (FNCLBPH) is a non-profit organization comprised of NC citizens, volunteers, and patrons who wish to support the library, its services, and programs. The library provides accessible materials (i.e., large print, Braille, audio books and descriptive videos) to North Carolinians with visual and/or print disabilities. We enthusiastically support the mission of the Library by providing financial support to augment state and federal funding. Literacy for ALL, is our passion!In addition to supporting the library we provide the James Benton Braille Writer Program, Literacy Grants, and more. Please explore our website for more details about our library support, programs, and membership.
