Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has displayed 400,000 digital books for People of Determination at the Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF).

The digital books are a part of Dubai Audio Library that was rolled out last December.

The aim of the library is to offer equal educational and cultural opportunities to people of determination, especially for those who are visually impaired or suffer from dyslexia.

Some of the books are written in Braille and large capital letters.

The Sharjah International Book Fair is taking place at Expo Centre Sharjah until November 9.
