KOREAN BRAILLE LIBRARY is Korea¡¯s first Braille library, established in Jongro 5-ga of Jongro in December 10, 1969 with the love and sacrifice of late Director Youk Byung-il towards visually impaired people and continual pioneering spirit.

Late Director Youk Byung-il invested all his assets to open up the forum of knowledge information and life-long learning to find visually impaired people¡¯s ¡®right to know, and right to read¡¯ and to open up the eyes of the visually impaired people who are normally marginalized from information and who can get merely limited access.

KOREAN BRAILLE LIBRARY is an institution that plays integral role that is becoming a core institution of the knowledge based society of the 21st Century that helps improve the quality of life for both the visually impaired people and reading impaired people who face difficulty in reading due to advanced age, illnesses and so forth from their educational, cultural, entertainment, leisure, good use and life-long educational aspects.

In particular, this library develops and produces mute letter and Braille mixed books, sense of touch based books for infants and children to supply to visual impaired children and institutions to provide the opportunity for the visual impaired children and non-visual impaired children and for parents of visual impaired children to study along with their children, contributing to the increased awareness of impaired people and to the integrated education.

Privately managed KOREAN BRAILLE LIBRARY enables visually impaired people and reading impaired people who make up 10% of the entire population to use quality books and to gain easy and accurate access to ¡°living¡± information, and it is gaining considerable power thanks to the support of the different tiers of the society and through volunteer activities. We need your deep care and support more than ever to effectively execute the functions and roles of this library.

Keun Hae Youk, Director / KOREAN BRAILLE LIBRARY
