The Regional Library was debarrierized as one of the first cultural institutions of the city. It offers audio books for users with visual and other impairments. Since 2012, this service has been available for people with different medical impairments after presenting a valid identity card and a Severe Medical Impairment card (ŤZP, ŤZP/S) or a doctor’s recommendation for this service.
The Regional Library loans audio books only to registered users with a valid library card. It loans:
- MP3 audio books from the Matej Hrebenda Slovak Library for the Blind (SLB) in Levoča,
- MP3 audio books from the Regional Library in Žilina and MP3 players for citizens with visual impairments.
