GaRRS brings the printed word to individuals across Georgia who are visually-impaired or print-disabled. Our programming provides readings of periodicals and books that would otherwise be unavailable to those who cannot read printed materials. In addition to books, magazines, shopping ads, and newspapers, GaRRS also has employment information, service programs, and announcements targeted to the interests of individuals who are visually-impaired and print-disabled.
