One of the aims an architect designing libraries for the blind and visually impaired
has, is to try to define a main entrance and exit, through making accessibility to all
library facilities as effortless as possible. This may involve simplification of the traffic
pattern of the library and also lead to a reduction in building costs and use of multiple
entrances and exits (watchman, maintenance). It is, however, important to allocate a
separate entrance for delivery of postal consignments and transport of library resources and equipment, to avoid the possibility of users who are blind or visually impaired
being faced with problems of movement while entering and leaving the library. Putting
this into practice means increasing accessibility of the blind and visually impaired to
libraries.
