NLS will cease production of books on cassette as of October 1, 2010. 
Diminishing guaranteed availability of supplies has forced this cessation of
audiobook production on cassette. Now first-time produced NLS audiobooks
will be available only on flash memory cartridges and online through the
BARD system.

The inventory of over 57,000 NLS titles on cassette will continue to be
available.

Cassette production of NLS magazines will continue until further notice.

In-process cassette books listed below will be shipped to libraries. No
other pre-selected titles, even though ordered on copy allotment, will be
shipped.
