The Norwegian Library of Talking Books and Braille has been state-owned since January 1st 1989, and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs. Its function is to provide library services to the blind, the visually impaired and others with reading problems. The two largest groups of users are the visually-impaired and the dyslexic. Other categories include patients who have suffered a stroke, patients with MS and the mentally disabled. The library's services are intended for children, adults and senior citizens.
The library produces talking books, Braille books and electronic books. In most cases lending takes place by post. The main library is situated in Oslo with branch libraries in Trondheim and Bergen. There is a separate department for students at university and college level.
