NLS is the only service I can think of where you can borrow books. As
for purchasing them, there are several organizations that braille
books and distribute them for free or at a very low price. The Braille
Institute in California has a huge collection of children/young adult
braille books that they give to students for free. Also, Seedlings and
the National Braille Press make very high quality books that you can
buy. I remember buying the Harry Potter series from NBP for 20 dollars
a book, which was about the same price as the regular print books.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
