RNIB supporting your library
RNIB National Library Service works with public libraries and other information providers to improve the availability of accessible information for blind and partially sighted people. Key activities in 2009 will include an annual Make a Noise in Libraries Fortnight from 6-19 July (www.rnib.org.uk/manil), and celebrations to mark the bicentenary of the birth of Louis Braille.
