Specialized Printed Materials (Braille) combined with books (text) can attract and create opportunities for special needs (Category of Blind) to ensure that they are not left behind in getting information in the ever-changing technology era. In order to ensure that there is no discrimination between the normal and the special needs (Category of Blind), books produced by the Penang Public Library Corporation are suitable for all users, namely in Malay and English, but the most unique aspect is when there is also books in Chinese language as well as Tamil language that are translated into Braille format to ensure that there is no discrimination and can attract multiracial people to bring their family members who are the special needs (Category of Blind) to read together.
