[Blindtlk] [acb-l] Readers and Public Libraries, Off topic for Some

[Danielle Ledet]

Thanks to all of you who responded, even Cindy. I have moved to a
bigger city with this service at the branches. Heather, thanks for
your well thought out response. I think I am leaning toward getting my
printer/scanner oout of storage and taking advantage of the KNFB
reader special that's run every summer. I can't really pay right now.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and
tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will
have been all of these.
