[Dtb-talk] DTB Here and There

[Rakesh Chand]

All are great thoughts & ideas, &are certainly valuable. But hey one has to 
certainly think of PWD's in countries & counties where there is no Braille 
Library Service. what do blind students there do???

That's where networking is more than valuable.


I for one & hopefully, you too won't neglect the right of reading for all 
blind & visually-impaired.


I salute English library service especially RNIB they are providing library 
services for all. Hopefully, American Library we'll extend their love to 
other parts of the planet as well.


Have a beautiful evening!


Rakesh
