Audio Described Videos
Can Help You Enjoy Movies
Videotapes with
”descriptive narration” are popular home movies, which have been specifically
enhanced for people with visual impair-ments. During pauses in the dialogue, a narrator describes the
scenery, costumes, and actions.
Audio described
videos are also available through The National Library Service for the Blind
and Physically Handicapped (NLS), and free of charge to eligible borrowers.
Videos must be
returned after three days by mail or by returning them to the nearest public
library.
To find out more about
borrowing descriptive videos, contact the public library special services near
you.
