The role of libraries

▪Any type of library can be an "authorized entity".
▪Specialized libraries ("libraries for the blind") are libraries and production centres.
▪Developed countries have institutions of and for the blind. They serve 10% of VIP population worldwide.
▪255 million VIPs in developing countries have very few or none services - no domestic production of accessible books.
▪Specialized libraries were left alone in this huge task of accessible book production and distribution.
▪Technologies and international legislation allow other libraries to join the club.
