[NFB-Idaho] FW: Braille on Demand

[danalynard at q.com]

I wanted to pass on this message about what I feel is an innovative program
from our national library program. This is a way for you to get copies of
braille books that you want to keep. The application form is in the below
email. Wishing everyone a very happy new year.

Dana, 

Here is what I found on the Braille on Demand program. 

As part of its braille modernization initiative, NLS has launched the
Braille-on-Demand pilot project. This project will allow active NLS patrons
to request and receive one hard-copy braille title per month, which they can
retain for their personal use. If an individual who is not registered as a
patron submits an order, NLS will refer the individual to their local
network library to begin the process of becoming a patron.

Braille titles will be limited to books that are currently available on
BARD, the NLS Braille and Audio Reading Download service. At this time,
requests are limited to one book per patron per month. Only complete titles
will be distributed. Requests for partial titles (for example, volume one of
a three-volume book) will result in receiving the entire book.

The form to request a braille-on-demand book can be found linked from
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NLSbrailleondemand>
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NLSbrailleondemand. Patrons may complete the
form themselves or contact their network library for assistance. They may
also contact NLS Reference at  <mailto:nlsref at loc.gov> nlsref at loc.gov for
assistance in completing the form.

Let me know if you need anything else.
