The German Central Library for the Blind (DZB) is the oldest public library in Germany providing services for the blind and partially sighted persons. They are producing Braille books, Braille journals, music scores, tactile graphics such as maps, and digital talking books (or audio books). All services and literature are provided for free to the patrons of the DZB. 

The director of the DZB, Prof. Dr. Thomas Kahlisch, talks about common barriers blind persons face when making music and he explains the solution of the DZB to produce accessible music scores in Braille.
