Books, Bikes, Botanics and Briefs
Lina Kouzi, librarian at Vision Ireland, reads us into accessible digital; Tandem stoker Paul Joyce loses us on the Mullingar greenway; Áine Stanley leads us down the garden path to her allotment while Ireland's greatest cyclist leads us on the trip to Tipp.
BooksMost books loaned out by Irish librarians are in print format. In contrast, most books loaned by Linz Kouzi of Vision Ireland (VI) are digital. Lina, Head of Library Access Services at VI reads us into the many formats now available. Book your read through your smart speaker, tablet, phone or computer. There's fonts of every shape, colour and size while Braille is still at your fingertips.
BikesThe tandem, the bicycle made for two, is very popular with blind/vi people. Paul Joyce, from the Galway Activity Club, is a vision impaired tandem stoker. He chats about cycling weekends in Galway and beyond.
BotanicsI beg your pardon, Áine Stanley never promised us a rose garden, but she does promise us a fruitful allotment. Aine, the Health Promotions and Physical Activity Practitioner at Vision Sports Ireland, digs into the early gardening season.
BriefsJade McCormack has an EXCLUSIVE on which superstar will lead the Trip to Tipp on 27 June. She also has info on arts, golf, football and mindfulness before she walks away to the Maynooth Greenway.
