The Accessible Reading Symposium is a virtual, two-day, bilingual event designed to help library staff and readers with print disabilities learn about accessible reading in Canada.

The symposium brings together readers, authors, libraries, content providers, publishers, and technology developers/providers to share practical demonstrations, introductory knowledge, and different viewpoints on accessible reading.

The Symposium’s goal is to:

• Help everyone better understand accessible reading and formats.
• Share the experiences of readers with print disabilities.
• Strengthen knowledge among libraries, content providers, publishers, technology providers, and readers.
• Provide library staff and readers with print disabilities the opportunity to explore available tools, formats, and services.

The Accessible Reading Symposium is excited to announce the English and French authors featured in the author talks on March 11, 2026 – Amanda Leduc and Boum!
