Group sessions
DTvip Group
On Tuesday mornings Tate South Lambeth Library is open for DTvip. This is a Digital Tuesday session designed specifically for VIPs (visually impaired people).
How do you use the free computers, books and other standard printed information in public libraries if you have a visual impairment or dyslexia?
DTvip aims to make it easier for people with visual or print impairment to use the library computers to access the internet and try out the software and hardware above. The library is only open to those with visual impairment on these mornings and there is help available so you can try out everything available.
Every Tuesday morning from 10am to 12 noon, at Tate South Lambeth, 180 South Lambeth Road, London SW8 1QP, halfway between Vauxhall and Stockwell tube stations. For more information Tel: 0207 926 0705.

Living paintings
Lambeth Libraries is a member of the Living Paintings library. We can help you with information on how to join this fantastic scheme to bring paintings to life for those who are blind or visually impaired through Touch to See books.
Simple-painted tactile pictures are accompanied by audio guides that introduce children to their Touch to See library, including feeling tactile pictures and responding to audio description. Useful Guidance Notes assist parents and teachers with additional information and suggestions for further reading and activities.
If you would like to know more about any of the above, please email Abibat Olulode at aolulode@lambeth.gov.uk or call 020 7926 1103.
