> The following came from the ACB list.
> Late yesterday, we learned that the U.S. government signed the Marrakech 
> Treaty to improve access to books for people who are blind and visually 
> impaired, or have other print reading disabilities.  This is only the 
> first step, but it is necessary, before efforts to seek ratification by 
> the U.S. Senate can begin.  That, as many of you know from past

> certainly work with other organizations to undertake, now that the United 
> States has signed the treaty.  Stay tuned for further developments as they
