Celia’s terms of use

Under law, Celia’s services are only available to people with print disabilities. Print disabilities include learning difficulties, visual impairment and mental health conditions, for example.

Celia books are only available to people who are registered as Celia customers. Children and young people who need support reading can use Celia books together with an adult.

Celia must be notified of changes to the customer’s contact information.

Customer accounts that have not been used by the customer in two years are closed automatically.

Terms of use for private customers of Accessibility Library Celia.

Get a Celia account through your school or library

Your child needs an account in order to use Celia books. School teachers can create Celia accounts for their students. Before creating an account for a student, a teacher requires the consent of the child’s guardian. You can give your consent through communication channels like Wilma.

In addition to your consent, the teacher will also need your child’s personal identity code and address.

You can also create a Celia account through a library. Libraries also provide instruction on how to use Celia.

When a Celia account is set up for a student, the username and password is sent to the email address provided in their contact information. The username and password can be sent to the teacher’s, guardian’s or student’s email address. We recommend discussing with the teacher which email address to send the username and password to.

How do I read Celia books?

Reading is extremely important. In addition to reading at school, we also recommend reading at home, even if it feels difficult for your child.
