Visually impaired people have the same information needs as sighted people. Just as sighted people might read print media as well as download readable electronic information from the Internet visually impaired people also needed relevant information materials in their chosen accessible format in other to be able to contribute their quota to National development. Developing an efficient library service for print-disabled people is extremely important because there are significantly fewer books available commercially in accessible formats compared to what is published in print for the sighted public. For the visually impaired people to be productive they need to be provided with needed information materials in accessible format. It was against this background that the researcher intends to know the extent of availability use and level of satisfaction that the visually impaired users derived from using the vocational training centre library INLAKS. The paper also highlighted the challenges experienced by the visually impaired people as well as the library. Some suggestions which include adequate funding as well as provision of assisted technologies were made for improvement
