2023-2-24 Webinar: "The Role of Libraries in Implementing Inclusive Information Society - Centered on the National Library for the Disabled -" will be held on March 23

In Japan, the Act on Promoting Improved Reading Environments for the Visually Impaired (Reading Barrier-Free Act) was enacted in June 2019 to enable all people to benefit from written and printed culture through reading, irrespective of any disability. At present, a number of national organizations, including the National Diet Library (NDL), municipal governments, libraries, and publishers are working to implement barrier-free reading environments.

The NDL has invited Mr. Jang BoSeong from the National Library for the Disabled (NLD) of the Republic of Korea to give a lecture on 23rd March.

During his lecture, Mr. Jang will report on the NLD's efforts to lead the Korean library community in providing services to people with disabilities. We look forward to you joining us for this timely and informative lecture.
