The library also produces and loans out study materials for students with difficulties reading printed texts.
The Norwegian Association of the Blind (Norges Blindeforbund) established the country's first braille library in Bergen in 1910.
Members of the library's board, currently headed by Trygve Nordby, are appointed by the Department of Culture.
The collections holds both works of fiction and non-fiction aimed at adults, young people and children.
DAISY is a digital format which makes it possible to navigate through an audiobook in a similar fashion to a printed book.
Users with visual impairment can borrow DAISY players from the Norwegian county administration where they live.
Audiobooks produced using speech synthesis are also available as full text books, which means they can be read on a PC at the same time as being listened to.
In 2006 the library initiated the setting up of the Norwegian DAISY consortium (Norsk DAISY-konsortium, often referred to as simply NDK).
The section's main work involves ensuring that people with sight impairment and reading difficulties get the same access to library services as others.
The library is also a participant in the TIGAR project, in which the IFLA section works with the DAISY Consortium.
The project aims to ensure that those with sight impairment or reading difficulties have access to the literature they desire in digital form, regardless of where they are in the world.
The agreement covers both completed productions and access to files needed to produce literature in the desired format.
