¾«¶«´«Ã½
Santa Clara City Library's summer reading club theme this year is "Get a Clue @ Your Library" and the library plans to make specific efforts to promote the club to children who are part of Santa Clara County's Vision Impaired Program. The library will provide the necessary materials and technology that will allow for these children to participate fully in the program. Programs will highlight the "Get a Clue” theme and will include events such as a visit from an organization like Guide Dogs for the Blind. This type of opportunity will help teach children in the community about visual impairment, as well as show them how they can make a difference by helping this, or a similar, organization. Sighted children also will gain an understanding and appreciation of those with visual disabilities. Children in the Vision Impaired Program will feel encouraged to participate and be represented in their community’s events.
