Due to various production issues, distribution of 2023 braille pocket and wall calendars has been significantly delayed. Patrons should expect to receive 2023 calendars by December. These are thirteen-month calendars, so they can be used through January 2024. NLS anticipates that 2024 calendars will be available in January.  NLS apologizes for the ongoing delays.<br>
<br>
Please note that braille calendars are treated as subscriptions by NLS.  That means that if you requested a calendar for 2023, you will automatically receive a 2024 braille calendar.  If you have not requested a braille calendar but would like to receive one, please contact CT LAB at 860-704-2220 or 800-842-4516. <br>
