Founded in 1931, JBI Library is a nonprofit organization that supports people of all ages and
backgrounds who are blind, have low vision, or have print disabilities to fully participate and feel
connected to all aspects of Jewish life, from culture, education, and community to religious
practice. JBI is committed to increasing accessibility and inclusion so that anyone who wants to
connect to Jewish life can access and engage with the written word, independently and without
obstacles, to participate, celebrate, learn, and pray.

JBI creates, publishes, and distributes thousands of Jewish-interest materials in audio, braille,
and large print, and sends them free of charge directly to patrons. Alongside its vast circulating
library, liturgical texts, customized materials, and educational and cultural offerings, JBI
advocates on behalf of inclusivity and accessibility. In addition to serving individuals directly, JBI
helps groups and organizations to meet the accessibility needs of their communities by
providing a range of services, including transcribing and producing custom texts into braille,
audio, and large print formats.
