RESOLUTION 2025-09
EXPANSION OF AVAILABLE BRAILLE TITLES
submitted by: Library Users of America
WHEREAS, although the number of braille titles released annually has grown slightly, it is dramatically less than the number of audio titles released; and
Whereas, for a variety of reasons, it is far easier to produce and distribute braille titles than it has ever been; and,
Whereas, These reasons include but are not limited to: availability of digital titles, use of free NLS e-readers and other braille devices, and reliable braille translation systems.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the American council of the Blind in convention assembled virtually this XX day of June, 2025 that we join with Library Users of America to request that the National Library Service expedite the expansion of available braille titles beyond the limited numbers now available. and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that NLS be requested to report back to ACB and Lua at the ACB Convention in 2026 on decisions made in response to this resolution.
