The Illinois School for the Visually Impaired is a 175-year-old institution located on an 18-acre campus in Central Illinois.
The school currently serves 65 students from ages birth to 22 with visual impairments, assisting them in becoming productive and self-sufficient citizens.
The library houses a large collection of braille, large-print, and audiobooks for all student ages. Students can come in to browse the collection, get cozy on beanbag chairs, and the older students can even grab a cup of coffee while they unwind.
The ISVI library is also a Leader in Me school, following a PK-12 framework that nurtures student leadership, fosters a culture of trust, and boosts academic success.
RAILS member libraries can tap into a wealth of knowledge about accessibility and how to reach students of all types of needs from their colleagues at ISVI.
