2000s - Present Day

The Braille House Library celebrated its 125th anniversary.

Braille House began transcribing magazines for the library. The first magazine transcribed was Reader’s Digest. Presently, the library boasts over 150 magazines transcribed by the Braille House team.

Braille House became the host of the Dickinson Memorial Literary Competition, one of the only writing competitions exclusively for entrants who are blind or low vision. The event was revived as part of the celebrations of Braille House’s Diamond Jubilee Year, and remains an annual event to this day.

Braille House became home to the annual Braille Literacy Challenge (BLC), our biggest event of the year. The BLC provides an environment for school students to test their braille skills, and to socialise with other students who are blind or low vision.
