LET’S LIBrARY FOR ALL
LPD SATELLITE MEETING
18 - 19 August Schiedam
WE INVITE You
Topic in two days
- General accessibility in the library. How can everyone navigate the library to retrieve a book or use the space? How do you make the library accessible and user friendly for everyone?
- Knowledge of the needs and wishes of current and potential library users with a print disability. Do they prefer a special library, or do they want to use the general public library? Which public library offerings would they like to use if the services and collections were (more) accessible?
- What makes a book accessible? Is there a general agreement on the characteristics of an accessible book, or do we need several levels of accessibility and how do we translate that to the discoverability of the book?
- Are the current metadata for accessibility in cataloguing sufficient or do we need more? Such as user-friendly accessibility information on books and shelves to enable persons with print disabilities to search items and to decide whether the chosen title can be read in the way they like. How can the current cataloguing metadata on accessibility be translated into that information?
- What will be the impact of more born accessible publications on the traditional role of the special libraries when it comes to acquiring new titles for their collections? Are there new models of cooperation between the two parties involved (publishers and special libraries) on the horizon?
- Best practices of existing collaborations of LPD libraries and public libraries.Do we need (more) collaboration between libraries serving persons with print disabilities and public libraries? Is mixed membership a recommended option? Can services be (further) integrated?
- Best practices of inclusive library services, successes and lessons learned. Library programs and activities. Library familiarity with universal design.
Public libraries play an important role in providing services to their communities, including persons with print disabilities. We share how libraries can be an accessible and inclusive place for all users; how can libraries serving persons with print disabilities (LPDs) and other libraries collaborate; and how can LPDs support public libraries in their work.
We try to highlight the positive work and good practices, in both physical and digital environments. Worldwide, books and services are becoming more accessible, and the European Accessibility Act will ensure this trend continues. What steps are needed to make collections and services discoverable and accessible, and are we making library activities and programs inclusive for persons with print disabilities? Let’s present ideas and experiences as we work together and library for all.

To be able to participate well in society, it is important that you can read. The KB, the national library of the Netherlands, has been a source of inspiration and development for centuries. The Koninklijke Bibliotheek ensures that everyone in the Netherlands has the opportunity to learn to read, to keep reading and to enjoy it. The KB considers it important that everyone can view and use the online information. That is why it pays a lot of attention to the digital accessibility of their websites.
The Dedicon Foundation has been involved in the Accessible Publishing at the Source project from the start. In addition to producing accessible productions in braille, relief, audio and EPUB files, Dedicon increasingly provides workshops and training in the field of digital accessibility. It is therefore logical that the editors of the platform inclusivepubliceren.nl have been placed with Dedicon.
You can always read! So even if you are blind, visually impaired or dyslexic. The Passend Lezen library service has a suitable solution for everyone with a reading disability. Thanks to all the different reading formats and the extensive collection, reading pleasure is and remains possible for everyone!
The Flemish library serving persons with print disabilities is a public library, which lends books in an adapted form - Daisy and braille - to those who are blind or visually impaired and to other persons who are print disabled. Its goal lies in delivering books in an adapted form to all persons who are not able to read conventionally printed books.
