Current Status
The library services of NLB and RNIB were merged on 1 January 2007 to form the RNIB National Library Service. The merged service is now part of RNIB and incorporates all the library services formerly provided by the two organisations. NLB now continues to exist only as a 'shell charity' for the purposes of receiving donations and legacies.
