Individuals and libraries can borrow a braille book from TPB by using TPB-katalogen.Renewals
The loan can be renewed when it has expired. The expiry date is printed on the address-form, both in print and in braille. In renewing the loan, author, title, and expiry date should be stated. It is also possible to renew a deposit collection.Interlibrary loans
TPB administers interlibrary loans, both within Sweden and from abroad. Braille books from other countries may be produced in the contracted braille of that country, which could make reading difficult to an unaccustomed reader.People living abroad reading braille may borrow braille books from TPB following the same criteria as in Sweden.
