Vision Australia Information Library Service Vision Australia Information Library Service offers a free national library service for people who are blind, vision impaired or have difficulty reading standard printed material. We work to ensure that through innovation, advocacy and empowerment those with a print disability can enjoy the same access to information and recreational reading as others in the community. The Library offers members a wide range of accessible
materials from a variety of sources. Library members are individually assisted via a telephone reference service to access their choice of materials. Materials can be downloaded from our online catalogue, or distributed free-of-charge through the mail.
The Library Service circulates titles in Braille and DAISY audio. DAISY is an audio format that has been developed to build "structure" into a book. This enables readers to navigate to find specific chapters and pages of an electronic book at the press of a button. The Library collection also features audio books in different languages, children's print Braille picture books, and the latest magazines and regional newspapers from our download service. Professional staff assist members using smartphones and tablets to access the library collection.
Vision Australia Information Library Service offers advice about making information accessible to individuals, businesses, education providers, government bodies and community organisations.
Our consultancy services also extend to other areas and we offer advice about how to make websites accessible as well as buildings and outdoor environments.
There are 3 core library services: 1. A free public library service, which
includes a wide range of print alternative books and magazines available for loan through download or postal delivery. The Kooyong site has PC’s with adaptive technology suitable for people with a print disability.
2. The public library service includes a
reference service, Print Alternative Reference Service (PARS), which provides answers to information enquiries in accessible format.
3. A Staff Reference Service provides
access to the specialized collection of materials relating to Vision Impairment.

Mechanics’ Institutes of Victoria
Mechanics’ Institutes are the fore runners of public libraries and adult education in Australia
The Mechanics’ Institute Movement began in 1799 when Dr George Birkbeck conducted a series of free lectures for the workingmen of Glasgow. The term “mechanic” at that time meant artisan or workingman. The movement spread throughout Britain and it’s colonies including Canada South Africa, India and Australia, as well as the United States of America. The Movement began in Victoria with the formation of the Melbourne Athenaeum in 1839. The Institutes served as focal points for their communities, offering libraries and reading rooms, opportunities for self-education, and other attractions such as lectures, meeting rooms, museums, concerts, and various games. Institute libraries were regularly patronised up until the 1950’s even though conducted on a subscription basis. The book stock varied with the finances of the Institute committee but where towns were serviced by railways, cases of books could be obtained quarterly on loan from the Melbourne Public Library. Nearly every town in Victoria had a Mechanics’ Institute. Today there are over 500 still operating as halls and homes for local organisations. A growing number of these are members of the Mechanics’ Institutes of Victoria Inc. (est. 1998). Six Mechanics’ Institutes continue to principally offer a lending service and half a dozen have retained a significant proportion of their historical library collections.

Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) The Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) was formed in 1879 and has a statutory responsibility to act as the representative voice of local government in Victoria through the establishment of the Municipal Association Act 1907. As the peak body for local government, councils’ interests and rights are represented and protected through membership of the MAV. All 79 Victorian municipal councils are eligible to be MAV members. MAV Purpose The purpose of the MAV is defined under the Municipal Association of Victoria Act 1907 and states: The Municipal Association of Victoria was established to promote the efficient carrying out of municipal government throughout the State of Victoria and to watch over and protect the interests, rights and privileges of municipal corporations. (Municipal Association Act, 1907) Similarly, under the Local Government Act 1989, the objectives and obligations of councils are outlined. In order for the MAV to achieve its legislative purpose it also supports the defined objectives and obligations of the Local Government Act. MAV Vision The MAV will become a world class peak body achieving outcomes that leave stakeholders knowing that no other provider could achieve a better result. It will be:
strategically focused; an impressive and articulate team; the centre of knowledge for local government in Victoria; non-party political; and accountable.
MAV Functions The MAV performs six key functions:
1. Advocacy: representation of the needs and interests of the sector with other levels of government and with other key stakeholders
2. Capacity Building: working actively with councils to support them to improve how they operate in communities, particularly where there is significant change or new requirements
3. Networking: coordination, hosting and/or sponsorship of opportunities for the sector (or parts of the sector with common interests) to come together to share knowledge and experiences and plan responses
4. Policy development: setting of standards for the sector and developing the policies and the sector-wide regulations and codes needed in order to deliver service enhancement; financial and economic health; and social capital.
5. Professional Development: human resources support and training and education programs t develop the understandings and skills of both councillors and staff
6. Awareness raising: research and analysis leading to information dissemination and awareness raising promotions and campaigns.
