The Swedish Agency for Accessible Media (Swedish: Myndigheten för tillgängliga medier, MTM), formerly the Audiobook and Braille Library (Talboks- och punktskriftsbiblioteket, TPB), is a Swedish governmental administrative agency under the Ministry of Culture.
The agency's task is to work in collaboration with other libraries in the country to ensure that everyone has access to literature and social information based on their own abilities, regardless of reading ability or disability, and to make easy-read literature available.[1] For example, the agency must ensure that people with reading and writing difficulties/dyslexia and visual impairments have access to literature in media adapted for them: audiobooks, Braille books, tactile picture books and e-books. All audiobooks are made in DAISY format. DAISY stands for Digital Accessible Information System and is an open, internationally established standard. In addition to cooperation with other area libraries on lending accessible media, the agency also has its own program to lend Braille books. It is also working on developing technology for media for people with reading disabilities.
The available books and newspapers are downloaded from the agency's digital library Legimus. In March 2016, there were over 100,000 audiobooks, more than 18,000 Braille titles, around 3,000 e-books and 150 books in sign language.[2]
The Swedish Braille Authority [sv] (Punktskriftsnämnden), and as of 1 August 2010, the Audio Newspaper Authority [sv] (Taltidningsnämnden), are part of MTM.
The agency is located in Bylgiahuset in Malmö and has operated there since 1 January 2020.
