Hello,
Is there/will there ever be a way of requesting a book? It's not on
audible in this country but it's one I really want to read.

up during testing last year and is still an issue. How many sighted people
would tolerate borrowing a book from a library only to find that they could
only read a part of it? I o the argument that this only affects a small
percentage of the books in the library, but having to take into account the
length of a book is surely not something about which a borrower should need
to be concerned.

We are working with Dolphin to improve searching and browsing on their
platforms.
Books are uploaded in batches so if you look at latest you will sometimes
see a number of Braille or DAISY titles listed.
Reading Services is hosted by Bookshare who also provide a number of EPUB
titles.
On the Reading Services site non RNIB titles are filtered out by default
but users can choose to see all formats in the advanced search option.
We will also be improving searching on the site in the coming months.
