The National Library in Ankara has implemented a project to offer audio recordings of books according to the needs of the visually impaired. For visually disabled people, books are one of the most crucial sources of information about anything pertaining to the past, present or future. Thus, libraries are of great importance and must provide them with the necessary facilities to make these resources accessible. However, it is not an easy task to put such written works into an audio format. It takes not only high technology, but also a large amount of volunteer support.
