Ian,
Have a look at Chapter 12 of Library Services for Visually Impaired People: a manual of best practice ;Design and Adaptation of Libraries and Services by Dr. Gill Burrington at http://bpm.nlb-online.org which should help you. Biddy Fisher is correct to advise that you need to allow for staff to assist users. That would be regarded as a reasonable adjustment within the spirit of the DDA because the needs of wheelchair bound users and visually impaired users are different in terms of the ideal shelf dimensions to meet their particular needs. Best wishes for a successful layout! David Owen
