Abstract
Committee for Library Services to Persons with Special Needs of the Croatian Library Association has created a questionnaire for public libraries as a part of survey for library services for the blind and visually impaired. The results will show which public libraries have computer configuration for the blind and visually impaired, audio and talking books collection and if the staff is trained to work with this group of users. The results of the survey will provide a clear image on planning the campaigns for conducting programmes for print-disabled persons and acquireing financial support withing the overall financing of public libraries. It is recomended to install a programme for print-disabled persons into the principles of the Strategy of Development of Public Libraries as its indispensable part.
