A FREE Braille Christmas card service will be operating in Stockton again this year.
Well-wishers wanting to send Christmas cards to blind people can take an ordinary card to the Open Technology and UK Online Centre, in Stockton's Central Library, where the greeting on the card will be translated into Braille.
Open Technology Centre manager Christine Durnion said: "It has been really successful in the past and we are sure it will prove popular again this year.
"The Braille service enables blind people to read their Christmas cards themselves, adding much more meaning to the message inside."
The library service has run a Braille translation service in partnership with Stockton Blind People's Voice for almost three years.
The service is available for individuals, and the private and public sector.
