Participation by visually impaired people

In some of the libraries for visually impaired people, people with visual impairment have taken responsible positions. In some advanced public libraries, a member of staff with visual impairment has become the leader in charge of the services. In fact, at libraries with staff with visual impairment, the services are quite satisfactory in both quantity and quality.
