[nabs-l] Braille music

Sun Feb 9 20:54:52 UTC 2014

Marisa,
Well, then I'm glad your parents did not say that.

To clarify, there is a main number for NLS in DC. I'll look for it and post 
it later.
As Kaiti said, this holds the main music section and you can call it to get 
music scores and sign up for music magazines. All music is also available on 
BARD, the electronic library site. However, you indicated you have no 
braille display working, so this is not a good idea; but for the future, you 
can get a free BARD account and sign up for music magazines and get music 
sheet music from it.

However,  what I'm saying is you generally call your local network library 
for book requests such as talking books and magazines.
It is based on where you live, so this is why I'm saying we cannot give you 
your cooperating library number without knowing where you live.

The main NLS may connect you to your library; I'm not sure.
But I'd think your parents would have this number as they should be the ones 
who signed you up for NLS.

They are not the ones who said that a minor could not call.  It
was someone else, who obviously had no clue.

I thought there was just a number to call and it would put me
through to nls?

Marisa,

If you have registered, its best to call the music section in DC
for music
material; for general info, call your local network library.
Chris is
incorrect; you do not call the state library for general matters.
For
talking books, you call your local network library which is from
the county
usually; you need to ask someone that is working with you like
your TVI
about this because they know your situation.  We cannot give you
the number
for your local library because we do not know where you live.
Also, I've read some messages and some info is incorrect.  There
is a
difference between what the big main headquarters nls staff does
in Dc
versus your state regional library versus your local network
library.

If you want to call yourself, do some research and advocacy to
find the
right point of contact.  Your TVI would know or your parents, but
it does not
sound like they are encouraging you to call yourself.

Try looking at nls.loc.gov.  I believe there is a link on that
page which is titled "Find a Library." All state library info can
be found there.  You would call your state's library to apply if
they don't have the form on their Web site.

Allright, I'll try to call tomorrow or something.  But I'll be
at a  friends house, so is there a way to find the number in a
book or something?

Hi,

Speaking as someone who just called NLS, there is nothing which
says a
minor cannot call.  This is a ridiculous statement, as regular
libraries also let minors check out books on their own cards.
Like
Joshuah, iI have been using NLS since I was 8 or 9 and never had
an
issue, especially with the music office in D.C.

I think the isue is not so mch a confusion on the rules, but an
assumption that minors cannot call for themselves or a fear of
being
on the phone.  As I have said before, the best way to conquer
these
things is to just do it and get some practice, and NLS
personelle are
the best kind of people to start with.

Hi Marisa this is Roanna Bacchus.  I have been reading your
mosts

display.  Maybe that will help with the problem.
