Summary

The bill transfers the tasks of the Estonian Storage Library to the Estonian National Library. Since the tasks of the depository library are similar and partly overlap with the tasks of the national library, its activities will be terminated as a separate state institution. Connecting services creates the prerequisites for user-centered service innovation and coherent development and reduces the fragmentation of library services. The change will help improve the visual or other print reading disabilities people's access to publications and digital information, which is currently hindered by the isolation of services. In the new renovated building of the National Library, the rooms necessary for the blind library and better accessibility are also planned. The physical connection of the institutions is not expected to be on the agenda until 2025, when the renovation of the National Library building should be completed. In the future, the storage library will be moved to the planned storage and exchange collection to the heritage repository, and the services of the library for the blind will be provided in the renovated premises of the national library in Tõnismäe.
