Lina Kouzi, Head of NCBI Library Access Service, said: “We’re thrilled to team up with O’Brien Press and John Farrelly to release Deadly Irish History – Fun with The Celts and The Vikings. It will be available in Braille and accessible online formats through the NCBI Bookshare platform from March 3rd. World Book Day is about encouraging children to enjoy reading which is so important and beneficial for their development. Part of NCBI Library’s mission is to make all books accessible for children, and adults, who are blind or vision impaired so they have an equal opportunity to enjoy the stories that we all know and love and that ethos ties in perfectly with World Book Day.”
In collaboration with O’Brien Press, NCBI Library is offering the new mini book for €1.50/£1/ or for free with World Book Day token.
